Famous quotes containing the words love is and/or love:
“Some have asked if the stock of men could not be improved,—if they could not be bred as cattle. Let Love be purified, and all the rest will follow. A pure love is thus, indeed, the panacea for all the ills of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience.”
—Jeanette Winterson (b. 1959)
