While love can be a source of fulfilment, relationships are also often the cause of great pain and sorrow. The author of this book argues that this is because our understanding of love is at fault - and that our expectations can lead us astray. To achieve love that is both lasting and satisfying, each of us must strive to cultivate love as a state of mind and, in giving love, we will receive it. This anthology of quotations on love and relationships has been gathered from a variety of sources from both the East and the West, and is designed to prove helpful at times when the mind is far from peaceful.
