R. D. Laing Love Quotations

We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.

We have to realize that we are as deeply afraid to live and to love as we are to die.

What we think is less than what we know; What we know is less than what we love; What we love is so much less than what there is. And to that precise extent we are so much less than what we are.

From the moment of birth, when the Stone-Age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence called love, as its father and mother and their parents and their parents before them, have been. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potential.

Whether life is worth living depends on whether there is love in life.
