Love

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

The music business was not safe, but it was FUN. It was like falling in love with a woman you know is bad for you, but you love every minute with her, anyway.

This is my commandment, that ye love one another. [Jesus, In John 15:12]
Bible

Jealousy is the only vice that gives no pleasure.
Anonymous

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 the only kind of fire which is never covered by insurance.

To be in love is merely to be in a perpetual state of anesthesia.
H. L. Mencken

I think about you in every moment and every image of you hurts me horribly. I want to feel every thought, every whisper you say in the deep silence of the eternity of you soul. To be able to cry in me, beside you, beside me in you, to be able to understand why our hearts beat, why we live among moments and not among eternities as if it were different.
To be able to understand every smile which breaks in my just like a wave, which finally breaks against the cliff of my eternity through the blood of my ancestors as my misconducts break in your eternity and that of your ancestors.
And they want to tell you how much I love you, how much I adore you in this vain world.
I know we will never be able to look in the eyes, but only in the hearts.
I know they beat against the infinite precisely because they beat even though we both want the infinite and its truth. Any beat opposes the infinite because it measures an infinity, even if it is finite. And then?

Sorin Cerin

Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30 - Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30 - Catherine II of Russia

Love at first sight is possible, but it pays to take a second look.

If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
Anne Bradstreet

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible -- it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
Barbara De Angelis

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

None love the messenger who brings bad news.

Love is a great beautifier.

... See there's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me.
Gretchen Kemp

Where both deliberate, the love is slight: Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight?
Christopher Marlowe

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

Love is the only gold.
Lord Alfred Tennyson

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

The value of love will always be stronger than the value of hate.. Any nation or group of nations which employs hatred eventually is torn to pieces by hatred...

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson

A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat.

A beauty is a woman you notice; A charmer is one who notices you. Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965)
Adlai Stevenson

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

It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Roumania.

No sooner met but they looked; No sooner looked but they loved; No sooner loved but they sighed; No sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.
Henry Brooks Adams

Who is wise in love, love most, say least.
Lord Alfred Tennyson

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.
