If you love something, set it free, if it comes back to you, it's yours, if not, it was not meant to be.

Answer 2

Deception:

We deceive ourselves in order to deceive others better. If indeed, deceit is fundamental to animal communication, then there must be strong selection to spot deception, & this ought, in turn, to select for a degree of self-deception, rendering some facts & motives unconscious so as not to betray - by the subtle signs of self-knowledge - the deception being practised... the conventional view that natural selection favours nervous systems which produce ever more accurate images of the world must be a very naive view of mental evolution. - Robert Trivers

Love:

...brief is life but love is long. - Tennyson, The Princess

Things around us - houses, jobs, cars - they're props, they're settings for our love. The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives: empty settings. How easy to chase after settings, & forget diamonds! The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love? - Richard Bach

Leave a lover with his thoughts for 24 hours, & this is what will happen:

At the salt mines of Salzburg, they throw a leafless wintry bough into one of the abandoned workings. Two or three months later they pull it out covered with a shining deposit of crystals. The smallest twig, no bigger than a tom-t*t's claw, is studded with a galaxy of scintillating diamonds. The original branch is no longer recognizable.

What I have called crystallization is a mental process which draws from everything that happens new proofs of the perfection of the loved one.

- Stendhal, Love

A man may meet a woman & be shocked by her ugliness. Soon, if she is natural & unaffected, her expression makes him overlook the faults of her features. He begins to find her charming, it enters his head that she might be loved, & a week later he is living in hope. The following week he has been snubbed into despair, & the week afterwards he has gone mad.

Something of the sort happens in the theatre to actors idolized by the public. The audience ceases to care whether they are ugly or handsome. Le Kain, in spite of his ugliness, aroused the passions of thousands; & so did Garrick. There were several reasons for this, chief among them that one no longer remarked the degree of real beauty in their features & actions, but only saw a product of the imagination, something which had become accepted as theirs in recognition & memory of all the pleasure they had already given. In the same way a comic actor can get a laugh merely by walking on to the stage... - Stendhal, Love

Doubt, rather than music, is the food of love.

- John Cohen, Psychological Probability

Hate:

...the two things that a healthy person hates most between heaven & earth are a woman who is not dignified & a man who is. - G. K. Chesterton

1)'fear knocked the door.

faith answered it.

and no one was there.'

2)'do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain'-Emerson

Answer 4

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

-- Dune- Frank Herbert

What do you despise? By this you are truly known.

--Dune - Frank Herbert

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

--Fire and Ice - Robert Frost

Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.... And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

--The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8 (New King James Version)

In time we hate that which we often fear.

--William Shakespeare Antony and Cleopatra Act I scene iii

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction ... The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

--Martin Luther King, Jr. Strength to Love (1963)

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it

--Martin Luther King, Jr. Strength to Love (1963)
