Paul Tillich Love Quotations

All things and all people, so to speak, call on us with small or loud voices. They want us to listen. They want us to understand their intrinsic claims, their justice of being. But we can give it to them only through the love that listens.

One cannot be strong without love. For love is not an irrelevant emotion; it is the blood of life.

Genuine forgiveness is participation, reunion overcoming the powers of estrangement. . . We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love.

The separation of faith and love is always a consequence of a deterioration of religion.

Love that cares, listens.

For love ... is the blood of life, the power of reunion in the separated.

Parents need to listen as much to their kids as they do to them: "The first duty of love is to listen."

Love is the infinite which is given to the finite.

Courage is a greater virtue than love. At best, it takes courage to love.
