“We must understand that God does not "love" us without liking us - through gritted teeth - as "Christian" love is sometimes thought to do. Rather, out of the eternal freshness of his perpetually self-renewed being, the heavenly Father cherishes the earth and each human being upon it. The fondness, the endearment, the unstintingly affectionate regard of God toward all his creatures is the natural outflow of what he is to the core - which we vainly try to capture with our tired but indispensable old word "love".” TryingHumansDoeSelfSometimesEarthChristianFatherNaturalHuman BeingsLove IsCreaturesEternalRegardTiredCoreTeethHeavenlyCherishCaptureIndispensableHeavenly FatherFreshnessAffectionateFondnessChristian LoveWords LoveEndearment Author:Dallas Willard
“Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.” LoveSaidShowsEyeLove IsLoversRegardBlindPrivilegeWorthyExtras Author:James M. Barrie
“Even when we're with someone we love, we're foolish enough to think of her body and soul as being separate. To stand before the person we love is not the same as loving her true self, for we are only apt to regard her physical beauty as the indispensable mode of her existence. When time and space intervene, it is possible to be deceived by both, but on the other hand, it is equally possible to draw twice as close to her real self.” ThinkingPersonsRealSoulSelfEnoughBodyHandsSpaceLove IsExistenceDrawsRegardFoolishIndispensableTrue SelfTime And SpaceDeceivedReal SelfPhysical Beauty Author:Yukio Mishima
“Authentic love is obviously something good... When we love, we become most fully ourselves, most fully human... People often think they are being loving when actually they are being possessive or manipulative. People sometimes treat others as objects to satisfy their own needs... How easy it is to be deceived by the many voices in our society that advocate a permissive approach to sexuality, without regard for modesty, self-respect or the moral values that bring quality to human relationships! This is worship of a false god. Instead of bringing life, it brings death.” PeopleLifeNeedsHumansSelfSometimesValuesEasyVoiceLove IsQualityMoralObjectsApproachWorshipTreatsRegardSexualitySelf RespectOur SocietyModestyDeceivedHuman RelationsLife DeathHuman RelationshipsMoral ValuesPossessiveManipulativeFalse Gods Author:Pope Benedict XVI
“If a man had begun to hate an object of his love, so that love is thoroughly destroyed, he will, causes being equal, regard it with more hatred than if he had never loved it, and his hatred will be in proportion to the strength of his former love.” IfsMenLifeHateCausesLove IsObjectsEqualHatredRegardDestroyedFormerProportionLove LifeHis LoveBeing EqualFormer Love Book:Ethics Source: Ethics
“I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial.
