“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone.” – Thomas Merton

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves in them.” – Thomas Merton

“But soon we shall die and all memory of those (passed) will have left the earth, and we ourselves shall be loved for a while and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love; the only survival, the only meaning.” – Thorton Wilder

“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” – Ben Okri

“The most creative people willingly risk showing and giving love; even when they know it won’t be returned.” ~ Sue Rosenbloom

“Uninhibited pure love is a miraculous creative force.” ~ Sue Rosenbloom
