Karl A. Menninger Love Quotations

We have come to see that just as the child must learn to love wisely, so he must learn to hate expeditiously, to turn destructive tendencies away from himself toward enemies that actually threaten him rather than toward the friendly and the defenseless, the more usual victims of destructive energy.

One does not fall in love; one grows into love, and love grows in him.

Self love is not opposed to the love of other people. You cannot really love yourself and do yourself a favor without doing other people a favor, and vice versa.

Our lives are shaped by those who love us as well as those who refuse to love us....

Love is a medicine for the sickness of the world; a prescription often given, too rarely taken....

What's done to children, they will do to society.

Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
