I used to think that love was giving up everything of yourself and giving it to the other person. Now, I've realized that love is when you have somebody that doesn't make you give up half of yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I think about my own relationships to the women that I really loved, it feels like that love, even after we've broken up and we're no longer speaking, that love never goes away. No one told me that.
Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.
Love never reasons, but profusely gives; it gives like a thoughtless prodigal its all, and then trembles least it has done to little.
If love means that one person absorbs the other, then no real relationship exists any more. Love evaporates; there is nothing left to love. The integrity of self is gone.
Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love until you give it away.
Love is what you've been through with somebody.
Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else.
Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
