I was born into a Christian family and brought up in a Lutheran church. My faith has been the center point of my life, really, since I was a child, but at 16 years of age, I fully surrendered my life over to Christ. At that point, as a teenager, I began to grasp the concept of Christ’s true love and forgiveness.

# Bruce Dickinson

Life is too short to do the things you don’t love doing.

# Elon Musk

There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.

# W. Somerset Maugham

The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.

True love brings up everything – you’re allowing a mirror to be held up to you daily.

# Hilary Farr

When my, British-Church of England mother married my, Canadian-Jewish Father, the deal was that she would embrace Judaism, but wouldn’t give up her Christmas tree. So, I grew up with Christmas every year. I loved it then and I love it now.

# Michiel Huisman

Old Vespas are very appealing to me. I love the way they feel. I love the way they smell. I love the curves on them. I have one of the earliest Vespas ever made, from the 1950s.

# Rush Limbaugh

Liberals are some of the most arrogant, condescending smart alecks, but they’re just pure ignorant, and they fit the bill of people who have no love and no respect for the founding of this country.

# Dutee Chand

One may fall in love anytime and with anyone. One does not decide that based on caste, religion or gender.

# Kirsten Dunst

You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you’re in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don’t fall in love with people because they’re fun. It just happens.

# Jimmy Connors

I hate to lose more than I love to win.

# Robert Green Ingersoll

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

# Shahid Kapoor

Attachment is your biggest strength and your biggest weakness. Though it gives you the power to love someone more than yourself, it becomes difficult to live when you lose something you are attached to. Even when we have lost, we should go beyond that and get truly attached to someone. Loving someone truly is the most beautiful feeling.

# Alain Badiou

There is a kind of serenity in love which is almost a paradise.

# Margaret Atwood

The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love.

# Marilyn Monroe

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

# Lucy Punch

I always played the ugly sister instead of Cinderella or the Wicked Witch. But those are the parts I love, and actually, to be a character actress, you have more longevity, hopefully.

# Julius Gordon

Love is not blind – it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.

# Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

# Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.

# Mod Sun

The people that are feeding you the information on things that I like – love life, believe in yourself, be motivational, give your time to things and meditate – they’re all older people who are well into their 50s and have had careers, and for me, at this point, I’m the young ambassador for this whole lifestyle of making your mentality a reality.

# Xzibit

I’m doing things that feel good to my soul. I’ve had plenty opportunity to do other things, but it didn’t feel right, and it wasn’t right. And if it feels like work, then it’s work. But if you have that opportunity to do what you love, and you can make a living out of it, then that’s a blessing and I never take that for granted.

# Alain de Botton

Compatibility is an achievement of love; it shouldn’t be its precondition.

I’d kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.

# Elie Wiesel

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

# Ginnifer Goodwin

I love Valentine’s Day! I love it, I love it, I love it. I like having doors opened for me. My favorite romantic comedy is ‘When Harry Met Sally.’

# Simon Cowell

People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

# Taylor Swift

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

# Brian Chesky

Build something 100 people love, not something 1 million people kind of like.

# Gina Bellman

I love those connections that make this big old world feel like a little village.
