CHOICE QUOTES ON
LOVE
Love is a strange Emotion.
Someone says, Love is God;
Or, God is Love; Another says, Love is a serious mental disease. It is a virus
which happens to almost all – at some point of life.
No one dies of it. Many People
die due to the deprivation of it. When love ceases, all that one needs to do is
– fan it from within oneself.
There is huge abundance of it inside each of us. It
will become a fire again, given the chance.Living with love inside is a great
way of living. Dying with pots of love inside is equally a great way of dying.
Lovers need mostly very little cause for loving. But, once in love, they can
give you wonderful causes, of which they are totally convinced; even if, none
of them sound logical to you.
Love is not logical. If logical, love would not be infinite; and, it could not have been equated with God at all.
Therefore, do not expect Lovers to be logical always.
