Reciprocating love

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation... so we must not forget, when we love, that we are beginners, bunglers of life, apprentices in love and must learn love. ~ (Rainer Maria Rilke).

People to whom you are attracted invariably think you remind them of someone else.

Your goal is not to find love, but to remove all barriers which are preventing you from receiving it (Rumi)

Love makes a good relationship a dream and a bad relationship a nightmare. Love does not fix a relationship — it amplifies what’s already there.
