21 Timeless Quotes to spread the magic of Love

This is a month of love and I thought to collect timeless quotes and poetry on “LOVE”. Love is indeed the most mysterious emotion we have. Some consider “Love” as the most divine feeling. Some consider it to be a pain inflicting emotion. Whatever is your encounter with Love, whether it is requited or unrequited, it has the power to change you completely. Love is not restricted to romance, it is omnipresent and palpable. Even though “Love” is a very personal emotion, it is the only anchor of humanity. But “Love” somewhere lost its importance in our life, when we started to focus more on biases based on race, religion and region. This Valentine’s Day exercise of collecting timeless quotes took me to a very personal journey. Here are 21 timeless quotes and verses of poetry that conquers our heart.

Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

― Nicholas Sparks

“I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.”
―Neil Gaiman

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
―John Lennon

“This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.”

― Mother Teresa

there are as many minds as there
are heads, then there are as many
kinds of love as there are hearts.”
