Fred Rogers Love Is Quotations

Love begins with listening.

Love isn't a perfect state of caring...

It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life.

Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.

Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.

We need to help people to discover the true meaning of love. Love is generally confused with dependence. Those of us who have grown in true love know that we can love only in proportion to our capacity for independence.

Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.
