We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.
We like love - we love love - but perhaps its only meaning lies in its ubiquitous meaninglessness. We apprehend it, we feel it, and we think we know it, yet we cannot say what we mean by it.
Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.
It's human desire to be understood. And we always feel we're not understood.
Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.
We can only learn to love by loving.
We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand.
Love can be understood only 'from the inside,' as a language can be understood only by someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only by someone who lives in it.
We cannot comprehend what comprehends us.
