Needed Love Quotes

Love ... who needed love? As long as she had her books and her friends and an occasional hookup, she was perfectly content. ~ Lauren Conrad

I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed. ~ Jose Padilha

Love is like the air we breathe. It may not always be seen, but it is always felt, used and needed. ~ John The Apostle

You needed love to win at the game of music ... I played of sadness. I played of loneliness. Despair. Love found and lost. I played of tragic misunderstanding and weary cynicism and defeat. I played of perseverance, endurance beyond all suffering. Endurance in the face of hopelessness, hope when even hope was a betrayal ... And yet, though I played so much sadness, the music at the same time denied despair. How could anyone despair while music was being played? ~ K.A. Applegate

But when they needed love or help or had a problem of any kind, they could always go to Roselle because she was always there for them. That was not always the case with me. ~ Perry Como

It was amazing how our minds crafted stories for strangers who probably needed love more than our close-minded judgments. It was so easy to judge from the outside looking in, ~ Brittainy C. Cherry

I got interested in the idea that love is often used as a kind of blanket explanation for things. I mean, battered wives, for instance: "Why did you go back to him?" "Oh, I loved him." "Why did you embezzle fifteen million pounds and run away to the other side of the world?" "Oh, well, because I was in love." All that and then you don't ask anything else. I thought if I just say, these people needed love and they found it, then it kind of explained it away. I wanted to look at their behaviour and how love can inspire the best and the very worst in human behaviour but love itself is not behaviour. So I avoided the word 'love' until the very end and it's the last word in the novel. I wanted to explore what people will do when they're in such terrible need of love. If there was a big idea then that was it. Then, of course, I hope that if it's a story worth reading it's the characters themselves who make you want to read it, not the big idea. I don't think a big idea drives a novel usually. Something else has to engage you on a much more kind of personal level. ~ Morag Joss

You never needed wings to fly,
You only needed love. ~ Jenim Dibie

You know that your toddler needed love and approval but he often seemed not to care whether he got it or not and never seemed to know how to earn it. Your pre-school child is positively asking you to tell him what does and does not earn approval, so he is ready to learn any social refinement of being human which you will teach him ... He knows now that he wants your love and he has learned how to ask for it. ~ Penelope Leach

As one needs happiness so have I needed love; that is the deepest need of the human spirit. And as I love you utterly, so have you now become the whole world of my spirit. It is beside and beyond anything that you can ever do for me; it lies in what you are, dear love - to me so infinitely lovely that to be near you, to see you, hear you, is now the only happiness, the only life, I know. ~ Rockwell Kent

Lora followed his eyes to the subject of their conversation. He was such a masculine man, tall and strong and sure of himself, cocky almost. A male chauvinist to his toenails, she suspected, as incapable of admitting to feeling hurt and lonely and afraid as a pig was of flying. But he was vulnerable too, enormously vulnerable. More than many people who openly asked for it, he needed love. He needed someone to hold him in her arms and convince him that what he had done was not so bad, was not unforgivable, did not put him beyond the pale of normal society. To convince him that he was lovable. And loved. And she meant to be that someone. ~ Karen Robards

Bad boys needed love too. Her boys weren't dangerous- just naughty. But naughty could be very, very fun. ~ Marie Hall

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed. ~ Florence Griffith Joyner

What he didn't say, because it was too heavy a burden for any man to bear, was that Aden was already a leader who was on his way to greatness. If he didn't lose his way, if he didn't break under the strain, he'd become a man who would be written of in history. To make it, he needed someone to walk with him, to hold him when things became too hard, and to fight for his right to his own happiness. Aden needed love more than anyone Walker had ever met. ~ Nalini Singh

She deserved more, so much more than me; an angry, depressed, broken man. I couldn't give her what she needed - love. So, I did what I had asked her to do. I left. ~ K.I. Lynn

We needed love before we "fell in love," and we will need it as long as we live. ~ Gary Chapman

And it is so simple ... The one thing is - love thy neighbor as thyself - that is the one thing. That is all, nothing else is needed. You will instantly find how to live. ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

But would that be enough? Because at the moment it felt like it could never be enough. People needed more than a place to stay, more than a porch to sleep on. They needed a home, right? They needed love. ~ Jennifer Brown

Seeking to find our worth
in other people's eyes
is a game lost before it's even started.
People can only see us
through their own lens
and their opinion of us
is a reflection of themselves.
Noticing painful dynamics
is a path to finding
the wounded inner child
who needed love,
confirmation and approval,
but was so often misunderstood and unseen.
We all have the medicine - to reclaim our wounded inner child
and set our worth for ourselves.
Our environment will always react
to our own beliefs
and is a mirror
to how we,
so often subconsciously,
perceive ourselves.
The ones closest to us
are the most expressive mirrors of our wounds. ~ Petra Poje - Keeper Of The Eye

Children needed love, a reliable source of comfort, and an adult willing to take responsibility for them. ~ Deborah Harkness

I'll just be different, eh? Make my own music, sing my own song, tap away to my faulty heartbeats... ~ Geetika Saigal

Someday I'd love to do Shakespeare. ~ Christine Taylor

We danced on broken glasses,
painting a bloody masterpiece on the floor.
The painful it got, the harder we danced.
We didn't care about scars because it was us, dancing on broken glasses - with each other. ~ J.A. ANUM

I know you. I remember you. You're the girl I was designed to love, my God-given match, my solnyshko. ~ Tillie Cole

A sensitive woman is the greatest gift to a passionate man. ~ Lukhman Pambra

I love the magic of a hot bath, how time pauses and every grievance melts away. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich

How do we accurately evoke land we love? What should we even call the world we walk and drive through-scenery, landscape? ~ Deborah Tall

I do believe all shall be well with you, Prue. It's come to my heart as soft as dew, and as sweet as a red rose, that you'll get love as well as give it. After my time, though, after my time. But no matter for that, so I do know it's to come. ~ Mary Webb

Are you going to try it with me? Or do
you only take pleasure in attacking those
who cannot defend themselves?" Damen
heard the hardness in his own voice. He
held his ground. Around them, the tower
room was empty. He had sent everyone
else out. "I remember the last time you
were like this. You blundered so badly
you gave your uncle the excuse he
needed to have you stripped of your
lands. ~ C.S. Pacat

What is it about having a period that makes women so bitchy?" I paused for a moment, struggling against the urge to leap on him and tear him limb from limb. For one thing, I love him. Even when he's being an asshole, I love him. For another, any attempt to leap and tear right now would hurt me way worse than I could possibly hurt him. It was an effort, but I said as sweetly as possible, "It isn't that we're bitchier, it's that having a period makes us feel all tired and achy, so we have less tolerance for all the bullshit we normally SUFFER IN SILENCE." By the time the sentence ended the sweetness was long gone, my jaw was clenched, and I think my eyes were bugging out. ~ Linda Howard

We are what we love. ~ Erik Erikson

Discipline is needed in our temperance. ~ Sunday Adelaja

men do love sin, Will, oh how they love it, never doubt, in all shapes, sizes, colors, and smells. ~ Ray Bradbury

Well, any love makes us vulnerable. Whatever we love will give the gift of pain somewhere along the road. But who would live sealed in spiritual cellophane just to keep from ever being hurt? There are a few people like that. I'm sorry for them. I think they are as good as dead. ~ Gladys Taber

If we read the Word and do not pray, we may become puffed up with knowledge, without the love that buildeth up. If we pray without reading the Word, we shall be ignorant of the mind and will of God, and become mystical and fanatical, and liable to be blown about by every wind of doctrine. ~ D.L. Moody

In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd. ~ Miguel De Cervantes

Sometime is that appointment, the final one to meet. Let's color all with love, for Time is naught but fleet. ~ Vanna Bonta

The cause neither of truth nor of love is promoted by suppressing warranted criticism. ~ John Murray

I love a good dinner and getting to know someone. ~ Kendall Jenner

I can't think straight around her. I think love
is turning me into a Disney character. Damn it. I always
thought I'd be someone interesting out of a Star Trek
episode, but I kind of want to break into a song a little.
Just a little. ~ Lexi Blake

I tried to hold fire once...see from a distance it mesmerized me
captivated me
for hours at a time
The more it danced with the wind,
I felt my body sway to its rhythm
I tried to hold fire once
It's glow drew me in closer
And although I know full well the damage that fire can do...
Staring directly at it,
I know it's beauty too
It's warmth was now on my face and
I couldn't imagine being in any other place
I reached out with my bare hands &
it danced even more
And suddenly I felt it's heat deep within my core
Rising like a volcano ready to erupt
But somehow balanced & purposeful
I tried to hold fire once
until I realized that fire held me Passionately and
I was it's guiding force.
If you look close enough, you'll see it dancing in my eyes,
feel it in my touch,
even hear it in my voice...but don't ever forget that fire consumes and cannot be contained so I must master my energetic output to control the flames. ~ Sanjo Jendayi

-Why are we killing Silas if you loved him so much?
-People change ~ Quil Carter

The sudden and uncalled for coldness with which you treated me just before I left last night, both surprised and deeply hurt me - surprised because I could not have believed that such sullen and inflexible obstinacy could exist in the breast of any girl in whose heart love had found place; and hurt me, because I feel for you more than I have ever professed and feel a slight from you more than I care to tell.

My object in writing to you is this: if hasty temper produces this strange behaviour, acknowledge it when I give you the opportunity - not once or twice, but again and again. If a feeling of you know not what - a capricious restlessness of you can't tell what, and a desire to tease, you don't know why, give rise to it - overcome it; it will never make you more amiable, I more fond or either of us, more happy. Depend upon it, whatever be the cause of your unkindness - whatever gives rise to these wayward fancies - that what you do not take the trouble to conceal from a Lover's eyes, will be frequently acted before those of a husband's.

I know as well, as if I were by your side at this moment, that your present impulse on reading this letter is one of anger - pride perhaps, or to use a word more current with your sex - 'spirit'. My dear girl, I have not the most remote intention of awakening any such feeling, and I implore you, not to entertain it for an instant.... I have written these few lines in haste, but not anger.... If you knew but half the ~ Charles Dickens

Love travels the miles upon the wings of Angels. ~ Kathy Mattea

We may be far in distance but we will always be close in heart! ~ Avijeet Das

Love is a beautifier. ~ Louisa May Alcott

An agreeable figure and winning manner, which inspire affection without love, are always new. Beauty loses its relish, the graces never, after the longest acquaintance, they are no less agreeable than at first. ~ Henry Home, Lord Kames

And yet, Eomer, I say to you that she loves you more truly than me, for you she loves and knows; but in me she loves only a shadow and a thought: a hope of glory and great deeds, and lands far from the fields of Rohan.
- Aragorn to Eomer, of Eowyn ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

Do something you really love in the most adventurous place you can and make sure it helps other people. ~ Diane Sawyer

My uncle used to love me, but she died. ~ Roger Miller

Sometimes the answers are not there until we stand still and listen. But they are there and they are usually surrounded by love. You are too. ~ Jan Hellriegel

Thomas had inherited his father's reason without his ruthlessness and his mother's love of good without her tendency to pursue it. His plan for all practical action was to wait and see what developed. ~ Flannery O'Connor

It is said that boys fall in love with their eyes, because they can be initially struck to their very core by a girl's mere physical beauty, while girls tend to fall in love with their ears. The outward handsomeness of the lad notwithstanding, a girl most of all likes to hear words of love everlasting, of how he will be kind and gentle with her and protect her from harm and want to always hold her in the highest respect and esteem. ~ L.A. Meyer

Only when I follow my love for my objective is it I myself who act. ~ Rudolf Steiner

Mientras mas honda la herida,
Es mi canto mas hermoso.
While more deeper is the wound
The more beautiful the art. ~ Jose Marti

And tell me, Perseus Jackson"--I flinched when he said my real name, which I never told anybody--"what will people think of your 'science' two thousand years from now?" Mr. D continued. "Hmm? They will call it primitive mumbo jumbo. That's what. Oh, I love mortals--they have absolutely no sense of perspective. They think they've come so-o-o far. ~ Rick Riordan

Whose are all these ghosts?" she said, smiling at a flustered-looking Geraldine.

We talked of love, and all we said would fill a book thicker than this. Yet all we said was only this: that I loved her and she loved me, and we had waited long and long, would be parted no longer. ~ Gene Wolfe

If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love - You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance.
The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point. ~ C.S. Lewis

The man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving. ~ Thomas Hardy

Life is a mighty joke that is not meant to be funny. ~ Janvier Chouteu-Chando
