Your love is as stable as you are: It's not about how good a person makes you feel, but rather what good you can do for them.

The real test of love is loving those who we feel are the hardest ones to love.

The only honorable, desirable kind of fear that shouldn't be feared is the fear of harm on a loved one. It's the kind of fear that leads to self-sacrifice and the kind of fear where you would truly jump in front of a bus to save another.

Self-righteousness is much like a spiritual egocentricity. It constitutes a secular type of love that thrives under conditionality, one in which is only existent after an individual meets the adopted standards of the condemner; oppositely, unconditional love is a holy love.

I have a thing for things that last.

We are to give (and take) true love without falling into the narcissistic habit of only trying to take it in.
