Rainer Maria Rilke
Jean Anouilh quote: "Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself"
Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself Jean Anouilh
Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another. Pope John Paul II

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. Iris Murdoch
Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's own self. Erich Fromm
Jean Anouilh quote: "Love is, above all, the gift of oneself."
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. Jean Anouilh
To understand a profound thought is to have, at the moment one understands it, a profound thought oneself; and this demands some effort, a genuine descent to the heart of oneself . . . Only desire and love give us the strength to make this effort. The only books that we truly absorb are those we read with real appetite, after having worked hard to get them, so great had been our need of them. Marcel Proust
One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well --but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself? Shirley Hazzard
