Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rajneesh

Try vegetarianism and you will be surprised: meditation becomes far easier. Love becomes more subtle, loses its grossness - becomes more sensitive but less sensuous, becomes more prayerful and less sexual. And your body also starts taking on a different vibe. You become more graceful, softer, more feminine, less aggressive, more receptive. Vegetarianism is an alchemical change in you. It creates the space in which the baser metal can be transformed into gold.

Rajneesh

Love and ego cannot go together. Knowledge and ego go together perfectly well, but love and ego cannot go together, not at all. They cannot keep company. They are like darkness and light: if light is there darkness cannot be. Darkness can only be if light is not there. If love is not there the ego can be; if love is there the ego cannot be. And vice versa, if ego is dropped, love arrives from all the directions. It simply starts pouring in you from everywhere.

Rajneesh

Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.

Rajneesh

Sexuality is possible without any understanding, without any meditation. Love is possible only with understanding. Compassion is possible only with understanding and meditation, understanding and awareness.

Rajneesh

Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.

Rajneesh

Law is for the society; love is for the individual. Law is how you behave with others; love is how you behave with yourself. Love is an inner flowering; law is an outward performance. Because you live with people you have to be lawful, but that is not enough - good, but not enough.

Rajneesh

A conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be. Wherever a condition comes in, love disappears. It cannot live in bondage, and a condition gives it an imprisonment. Love can only live like the vast sky. Love knows no boundaries.

Rajneesh

Love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is love.

Rajneesh

Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not "in love", one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.

Rajneesh

Love is overflowing joy. Love is when you have seen who you are. Then there is nothing left except to share your being with others.

Mercedes McCambridge

I can only know what love is insofar as I can feel it.

Michael Scott

Love is the water of life, drink deeply.

John Quincy Adams

However tiresome to others, the most indefatigable orator is never tedious to himself. The sound of his own voice never loses its harmony to his own ear; and among the delusions, which self-love is ever assiduous in attempting to pass upon virtue, he fancies himself to be sounding the sweetest tones

Nina Simone

You have to learn to get up from the table when love is not being served.

Miguel de Cervantes

There are two kinds of beauty, one being of the soul and the other of the body, That of the soul is revealed through intelligence, modesty, right conduct, Generosity and good breeding, all of which qualities may exist in an ugly man; And when one's gaze is fixed upon beauty of this sort and not upon that of the body, Love is usually born suddenly and violently.

Miguel de Cervantes

Love is invisible and comes and goes where it wants, without anyone asking about it.

Neil Finn

I love being in the studio.

Neil Gaiman

For love is no part of the dreamworld. Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel.

Neil Gaiman

To be honest, I think love is complete bullshit. I don't think anyone ever loves anyone. I think the best people ever get is horny; horny and scared, so when they find someone who makes them horny, and they get too scared of the world outside, they stay together and they call it love.

John Muir

Divine love is the sublime boss of the universe.

John Wesley

If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike; and can anything but love beget love?

John the Apostle

Love is like the air we breathe. It may not always be seen, but it is always felt, used and needed.

John Stott

Truth without love is too hard; love without truth is too soft.

John Steinbeck

A man so painfully in love is capable of self-torture beyond belief.

Marie de France

For what the lover would, that would the beloved; what she would ask of him that should he go before to grant. Without accord such as this, love is but a bond and a constraint.

Marie de France

I love no woman, for love is a serious business, not a jest.

Teresa Palmer

Theodore Dreiser

Remember, love is all a woman has to give, but it is the only thing which God permits us to carry beyond the grave.

Theodor Adorno

Love is the ability to discover similarities in the dis-similar. The audience has a right not to be fooled - even if it insists on being fooled.

Terry Hayes

Some people say that compassion is the purest form of love because it neither expects nor demands anything in return.

Margaret Mead

Monogamous heterosexual love is probably one of the most difficult, complex and demanding of human relationships.
