BREAK UP

For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
Francis Bacon

Nowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.
Sir Thomas Malory

Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.
Leo Buscaglia

Never try to define love. Once defined love is confined. Once confined -- It dies.

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
Germaine De Stael

Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.
David Pratt

Madame, it is an old word and each one takes it new and wears it out himself. It is a word that fills with meaning as a bladder with air and the meaning goes out of it as quickly. It may be punctured as a bladder is punctured and patched and blown up again and if you have not had it does not exist for you. All people talk of it, but those who have had it are marked by it, and I would not wish to speak of it further since of all things it is the most ridiculous to talk of and only fools go through it many times.
Ernest Hemingway

Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.
W. Somerset Maugham

An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception.
Harold Lokes

Human Love... It is that extra creation that stands hurt and baffled at the place of death. Being human, wanting children and sunlight and breath to go on, forever.
Christopher Leach

I have felt it and lived it and now it leaves me here, love is the ultimate pain and joy, without it you die with it you perish.
Christopher S. Drew

Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love.
Ayn Rand

when you are always on my mind and my heart hurts when you are gone what is it that i feel, if it is not love
naomi kay

"My heart is a red rose. When happy, it sparkles brillianly. When sad it bleeds and forms a dark puddle under it. When my heart dies, the soft fragile petals fall. So you might want to put your rose in a vase."

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
Herman Hesse

Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.
George Jean Nathan

There are few people who are not ashamed of their love affairs when the infatuation is over.

"what has faded, is already lost"

Two separate, distinct personalities, not separate at all, but inextricably bound, soul and body and mind, to each other, how did we get so far apart so fast?
Judith Guest

"When you feel like falling down, don't give up. Try again."
Samantha Smile

Love is blind. It will take over your mind. What you think is love, is truly not. You need to elevate your mind.
Eve

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still alive.
Orlando A. Battista

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up
James Baldwin

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.
Henri B. Stendhal

I know a love may be revived which absence, inconstancy, or even infidelity has extinguished, but there is no returning from a dTgovt given by satiety.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu

Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it.
Joan Vinge

Pushing away doesn't cause things to come together, all it causes is for things to be pushed away.
Shea McCullagh

There is no living with thee, nor without thee.
Marcus Valerius Martial

Love is like a poisonous mushroom -- you don't know if it is the real thing until it is too late

Love is bittersweet, its up to u to make it bitter or sweet.

It is well to be happy and wise and well to be honest and true; it is well to be off with the old love, before you are on with the new.

All the little emptiness of love!

Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
Clive Staples Lewis

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
Baronne Anne Louise de Staël Staël

There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.
François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

The fear of making permanent commitments can change the mutual love of husband and wife into two loves of self-two loves existing side by side, until they end in separation.
Pope John Paul II

If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday -- so much is true.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.
William Makepeace Thackeray

...Him that I love, I wish to be free--even from me
Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh

A proof that experience is of no use, is that the end of one love does not prevent us from beginning another.
Paul Bourget

People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the comma bacillus.
Marcel Proust

Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.
King Soloman
