"When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive"
- William Barclay
About this Quote
This quote speaks to the power of love and how it can bring us to life. When we enjoy someone with our whole hearts, we feel a connection to them that differs from any other. We feel alive and stimulated when we are with them, and our life handles a brand-new meaning. We feel a sense of purpose and pleasure that we don't experience when we are apart. Love offers us a sense of belonging and security, and it can make us seem like we are really alive. William Barclay's quote reminds us of the value of caring deeply and cherishing the time we have with individuals we like. It is just in their business that we can really feel alive.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
