You have to give love to get love.

The reality is that we communicate with every part of our being, and there are times when we must use it all. When someone needs us, he or she needs all of us. There's no text that can replace a loving touch when someone we love is hurting.

Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish.

Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice.

When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.

When someone you love is in pain, you want to do anything to comfort them.

If you're giving love and not receiving it, you're not in the right relationship. If you're receiving it and not giving it than you are taking advantage of the other person.

I need to give affection and love, because without that, I wither. I need to give that love to someone. Without that, I'm rudderless.

You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.

Pain is love.
