There's no love without pain.

Irving Stone

Because, if you could love someone, and keep loving them, without being loved back... Then that love had to be real. It hurt too much to be anything else.

Sarah Cross

Genuine love seems to love "in spite of". Of course it is easy to love the parts we agree with, but when we learn to embrace the parts we disagree with, that is when liking turns into loving.

Haemin Sunim

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.

Charles de Gaulle

What is done in love is done well.

Vincent van Gogh

Once the shadow is embraced, it is healed. And when it is healed, it becomes love.
