Love

Only from the heart Can you touch the sky.
Jalal-Uddin Rumi

I loved you when love was Spring, and May, Loved you when summer deepened into June, and now when autumn yellows all the leaves...
V. Sackville-West

Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.
Hannah Arendt

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.
Alfred A. Montapert

Golf is like a love affair: if you don't take it seriously, it's no fun. If you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart.
Arnold Daly

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones

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

A in a mans life is a state of mind, it keeps changing.
Shahazad

I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal.
Vita Sackville-West

In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
John Boyle O'Reilly

It's not as great a day for the bride as she thinks. She's not marrying the best man.
Anonymous

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
George Moore

When a heart finds another, what's a cloud more or less in the sky?
Wolf and Page

A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.
Jean Paul Richter

Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Whoso loves believes the impossible.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.
Thomas p Kempis

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.
Jalal-Uddin Rumi

Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.
Zora Neale Hurston

But to see her was to love her, love but her, and love her forever
Robert Burns

Families are about love overcoming emotional torture. - Maker of the Simpsons
Matt Groening

If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.
Barbara De Angelis

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

To love for the sake of being loved is human, But to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Alphonse Marie Louis de Lamartine

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

Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.
Barbara De Angelis

I consider it a public duty to answer falsifications with facts. I will not pretend that I find this an unpleasant duty. I am an old campaigner, and I love a good fight.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

All fair in love and war.
Francis Edward Smedley

All the little emptiness of love!
Rupert Brooke

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

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

Here are fruits, flowers, leaves, and branches, And here is my heart which beats only for you.
Paul Verlaine

Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another's soul.
James Joyce

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

Platonic love is love from the neck up.
Thyra Smater Winsolow

The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed
Plato

We came by night to the Fortunate Isles, And lay like fish Under the net of our kisses.
Pablo Neruda

'True love' isn't so much a dreamy feeling that you have as it is an enduring commitment to give sacrificially --even, or perhaps especially, when you don't feel like it.
William R. Mattox, Jr.

Earth's the right place for love. I don't know where it's likely to go better.
Robert Lee Frost

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

Why are men so secretive, why are they afraid of the truth, sometimes even of themselves?
Why don't they want to admit that they would want to love with their entire being because this is everything that remains out of this vanity called Life?

Sorin Cerin

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

A heart that loves is always young.
Greek Proverb

I am my beloved, and my beloved is me.
Song of Solomon

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

Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Should I understand that love is the reverse of out life, that it is death?
That we live in this life in which we hope to have the chance to love, so to die? Let me drink from the glass of your voluptuousness down to the depths of my being so that I can die!
Despite all that, I will always love you, my sweet and wild angel of the destiny of my life. Wherever I will be in this world, I will carry you in my thoughts and speak to you where no one can ever ever ever come in!
Now you understand, my great love, now you understand why we must talk only there and never somewhere else?
Because we are condemned to be soul mates that had the misfortune of recognising each other in this world of vanity.
Always keep your head up in life, even when you will feel lonely because I am and I will always be with you, even when our bodies will be dust and ashes for a long time, even when the oceans will dry up and the water of life will be long drunken by the vanity of this world.

Sorin Cerin

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh

In love there are two things -- bodies and words.
Joyce Carol Oates

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
