Hi Ananda,
If that is what he sent to you (or you interpreted it as meaningful), then you seem to only have one side of the equation. As the quote says, true or unconditional love is an "out flowing" with no expectation of return. But, our understanding of love grows as we drop attachments that we associate with it.
Rather than attacking "love", consider looking at it from the inverse. Contemplate "forgiveness". When you truly forgive, the attachment drops, and you get the out flowing of love naturally.
This may sound very corny, but if you can forgive everyone and everything (including yourself), you get enlightenment for free.
Peace, love & light Brother.
