Famous quotes containing the words mature and/or love:
“Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.””
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“We love to see any redness in the vegetation of the temperate zone. It is the color of colors. This plant speaks to our blood.... What a perfect maturity it arrives at! It is the emblem of a successful life concluded by a death not premature, which is an ornament to Nature. What if we were to mature as perfectly, root and branch, glowing in the midst of our decay, like the poke!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
