Love cannot be forced.

And can you be forced by anyone to desire something against your will? ‘No.

It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless.

Love can't conquer anything. Love can't make a scholar into a warrior. Loving her can't make her love me.

The mind must not be forced; artificial and constrained manners fill it with foolish presumption, through unnatural elevation and vain and ridiculous inflation, instead of solid and vigorous nutriment.

Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.

It’s true, I can’t make you love me. But I can refuse to let you out of your cage.

There is no instinct like that of the heart.

You cannot convince people to love you.

Nothing taught by force stays in the soul.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

There can be no forced inspiration.

You can change your mind but you cant change your heart.

It is not possible to make a person or society non-violent by compulsion.
