Best Quotes about Love

Love is the river of life in the world.

Beecher, Henry Ward

Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love.

Richter, Jean Paul
