* Giving love is the basis of life. Giving must happen constantly, then there is always something to receive. Pure, unselfish love is the one that gives, it does not expect reward. A woman who does not know how or does not want to give a drink to a thirsty person will never become a source of eternal life. A man who rushes in just to get drunk will never get clean water. Giving love and giving with love is happiness. Receiving love and receiving without love is misfortune. Luule Viilma.

* Falling in love begins with mutual attraction between two people. At first it's easy chemical process. Have you ever noticed that as soon as you fall in love with someone, crowds of former admirers begin to pursue this person? It's funny, isn't it? You may know this from own experience. Where were all these people looking when we were so alone? Paradoxical as it may seem, the easiest way to find love is to love yourself. It turns out to be a vicious circle: to find love, we must be attractive, but we are most attractive precisely when we love! Laura Day.

* You can become a “love magnet”, attracting partners to you, without any effort. How, you ask? Seek pleasure. Activities that bring pleasure cause the same psychological state as what we experience when we are in a state of love. The trick is that when there is no love in our lives, we give up the joyful and pleasurable activities that make us more attractive. Loving and being loved are natural states, so we don’t have to do anything to find love. As soon as you remove the obstacles yourself, love will definitely appear in your life. Laura Day.

Apparently, nature hides in the depths of our soul abilities and gifts that we ourselves are not aware of; only passions awaken them to life and sometimes impart to us such insight and firmness that under ordinary conditions we could never achieve.

Mediocrity condemns everything that exceeds its understanding.

V. Belinsky

Having inclinations and being the master of them is more commendable than avoiding inclinations.

The reason for unhappy love for another is unhappy love for oneself.

Love exists when your strong, tender feelings for another person are balanced by reason and deep respect. Judgments about a person are completely objective and rational.

Ray Short, professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin

Love does not primarily characterize a relationship with a specific person; it is a position, an orientation of character that determines a person’s relationship to the world as a whole, and not just to the “object” of love.” Therefore, the cause of mania must be sought not in the particularity, the sublimity of the feeling itself, as has been done for many centuries, but in the character of the person experiencing it.

Erich Fromm

Virtue does not consist in the absence of passions, but in the control of them.

Love is a creative act, creating a different life, conquering the “world,” overcoming race and natural necessity. In love, a person is affirmed, unique, unique. Everything impersonal, generic, everything that subordinates individuality to the natural and social order is hostile to love, its unique and ineffable mystery. There is not and cannot be a law for love; love knows no law. The creativity of love does not know obedience to anyone's will; it is absolutely daring. Love is not obedience, like family, but boldness, free flight.

ON THE. Berdyaev

Power over oneself is the highest power, enslavement to one’s passions is the most terrible slavery.

One should fear violent love just as one should fear hatred. When love is strong, it is always clear and calm.

Too hot and ardent love eventually bores us and is harmful in the same way as too tasty food for the stomach.

Often a person has wealth and does not know happiness, just as he possesses women without meeting love.

A. Rivarol

The essence of a pure marriage is perfect love; marriage is holy - when it is in truth and love; and without love, with deception, there is debauchery.

V. Rozanov

B. Disraeli

The covenant of love for people is not a moral injunction; it is an attempt to help the soul open, expand, blossom internally, enlighten.

Giving love is the basis of life. Giving must happen constantly, then there is always something to receive. Pure, unselfish love is the one that gives, it does not expect reward. A woman who does not know how or does not want to give a drink to a thirsty person will never become a source of eternal life. A man who rushes in just to get a drink will never get clean water. Giving love and giving with love is happiness. Receiving love and receiving without love is misfortune.

Falling in love begins with mutual attraction between two people. At first it is just a chemical process. Have you ever noticed that as soon as you fall in love with someone, crowds of former admirers begin to pursue this person? It's funny, isn't it? You may know this from your own experience. Where were all these people looking when we were so alone? Paradoxical as it may seem, the easiest way to find love is to love yourself. It turns out to be a vicious circle: to find love, we must be attractive, but we are most attractive precisely when we love!

You can become a “love magnet”, attracting partners to you, without any effort. How, you ask? Seek pleasure. Activities that bring pleasure cause the same psychological state as what we experience when we are in a state of love. The trick is that when there is no love in our lives, we give up the joyful and pleasurable activities that make us more attractive. Loving and being loved are natural states, so we don't have to do anything to find love. As soon as you remove the obstacles yourself, love will definitely appear in your life.
