Receiving Love Quotes

Often men who have been emotionally neglected and abused as children by dominating mothers bond with assertive women, only to have their childhood feelings of being engulfed surface. While they could not 'smash their mommy' and still receive love, they find that they can engage in intimate violence with partners who respond to their acting out by trying harder to connect with them emotionally, hoping that the love offered in the present will heal the wounds of the past. If only one party in... Bell Hooks
Omar Torrijos Herrera quote: "He who gives love, receives love."
He who gives love, receives love. Omar Torrijos Herrera
Jeanne Moreau quote: "To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain,..."
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it. Jeanne Moreau
Keith Miller quote: "My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then..."
My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then I may believe you. Keith Miller
Love, true love, love that denies itself and transfers itself to another, is the awakening within oneself of the highest universal principle of life. But it is only true love and affords all the happiness it can give when it is simply love, free from anything personal, from the smallest drop of personal bias towards its object. And such love can only be felt for one’s enemy, for those who hate and offend. Thus, the injunction to love not those who love us, but those who hate us, is not an... Leo Tolstoy
Love, what is love? I don't think you can really put it into words. Love is understanding someone, caring for him, sharing his joys and sorrows. This eventually includes physical love. You've shared something, given something away and received something in return, whether or not you're married, whether or not you have a baby. Losing your virtue doesn't matter, as long as you know that for as long as you live you'll have someone at your side who understands you, and who doesn't have to be... Anne Frank
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get? only what you are expecting to give? which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving. Katharine Hepburn
Love... is a deep unity maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both parents ask, and receive, from God. C. S. Lewis
Love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive. Louisa May Alcott
Herman Hesse quote: "Love can be begged, bought, or received as a gift, one can..."
Love can be begged, bought, or received as a gift, one can find it in the street, but one cannot steal it. Herman Hesse
Karl A. Menninger quote: "Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who..."
Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Karl A. Menninger
Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another. Ayn Rand
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. Barbara de Angelis
One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn't it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim... Bell Hooks
It is by the Holy Spirit that we love those who are united to us in Christ. The more plentifully we have received of the Spirit of Christ, the more perfectly we are able to love them: and the more we love them the more we receive the Spirit. It is clear, however, that since we love them by the Spirit Who is given to us by Jesus, it is Jesus Himself Who loves them in us. Thomas Merton
