It’s not easy but I think it’s important to us to choose love because love is the most powerful force in the world. And, by love, I don’t mean puppy love: I mean unconditional love, forgiving love, tough love and true love.

Here are 10 quotes to emphasize this:

1. ‘Now, more than ever, it is important to choose love. ’- Dr. Deepak’s Chopra

2. ‘Have enough courage to trust love one more time, always and forever.’-Maya Angelou

3. ‘Love takes of masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.’- James Baldwin

4. ‘The chance to live and be loved exists no matter where you are.’- Oprah Winfrey

5. ‘Fundamentally, love means to go beyond likes and dislikes.’- Sadhguru

6. ‘Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.’- Gary Zukhav

7. ‘Reason is powerless in the expression of love.’- Rumi

8. ‘Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold—that’s ego. Love liberates. It doesn’t bind. Love says, ‘I love you. I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re across town. I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible now, so I love you. Go.’ -Maya Angelou

9. ‘You can only give away what you have inside of you, become an instrument of love.’ Dr. Wayne Dyer

10. ‘Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." – Lao Tzu
