James Joyce

Come out of the circle of time / And into the circle of love.
Jalal ud-Din Rumi

God, I offer myself to Thee, to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy power, Thy love and Thy way of life. May I do Thy will always. Amen.
Alcoholics Anonymous Prayer

Love is the irresistible desire to be desired irresistibly.
Louis Ginsberg

Love is not something that you can put chains on and throw into a lake. That's called Houdini. Love is liking someone a lot. - Deep Thoughts (Saturday Night Live)
Jack Handey

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.

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

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense
Mark Overby

The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life.

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

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

LOVE: He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Albert Einstein

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

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

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

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

All fair in love and war.
Francis Edward Smedley

Her breath is like honey spiced with cloves, Her mouth delicious as a ripened mango.
Srzgarakarika

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

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

I love her and she loves me, and we hate each other with a wild hatred born of love.
August Strindberg

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

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

I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be. We generally make up our minds beforehand to the sort of person we should like, grave or gay, black, brown, or fair; with golden tresses or raven locks; -- and when we meet with a complete example of the qualities we admire, the bargain is soon struck.
William Hazlitt

Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway.
Judith Viorst

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

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

Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
Leo Buscaglia

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

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

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

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

The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson

A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Fr. Jerome Cummings

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

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

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

I wished for nothing beyond her smile, and to walk with her thus, hand in hand, along a sun-warmed, flower-bordered path.
Andre Gide

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

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain
Leo Buscaglia

Love is bittersweet, its up to u to make it bitter or sweet.
1721 darls

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.
Francois de La Rouchefoucauld

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
Erica Jong

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.
