I just believe that our most redeeming feature as a species is our capacity for love.

I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that just love who you wish and celebrate it the best you can.

I think the negative traits are what makes us love other human beings, the foibles and the flaws.

I believe that love is the choice we make to raise ourselves and others to the highest planes of existence.

I think if we open ourselves to all different kinds of men and all groups, we find a lot more opportunities to love.

As attractive as it is, the idea that nature can exist beyond our dangerous 'instinct for happiness' is never the whole story.

So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.

I think everybody has the ability to fall in love with a man or with a woman or a white person or a black person or a Jewish person or a Protestant person or whatever.

On the surface we all act like we all love each other and we're free and easy, and actually we're far more moralistic than any other society I've ever lived in.

In society, we have to earn other things of import like trust, respect, money, education, careers, status and etc., so naturally, we find ourselves attempting to earn love, acceptance and validation along with that. Here's the trip: we do it at the cost of other people and, more importantly, ourselves.
