"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything." ~ Katherine Hepburn ~

Of course, this quote is also true:

"A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it."
~ Frank Howard Clark ~

For we do need love, it is just a question of where we need it to come from??

When we are kids, we need the love of our closest adults, usually our parents.

 When we become adults ourselves, we just need the love of one adult: Ourselves.

We ourselves are the source of love in our own lives. Obviously getting love from other people feels nice, too, but since you experience love when you give it and not when you get it, the getting is really not essential.
