It was as though our love were a small creature caught in a trap and bleeding to death: I had to shut my eyes and wring its neck.

Love knoweth no laws.

You don't need scores of suitors. You need only one ... if he's the right one.

LOUISA MAY ALCOTT

Little Women


This love of ours, in so far as it is a love for one particular creature, is not perhaps a very real thing, since, though associations of pleasant or painful musings can attach it for a time to a woman to the extent of making us believe that it has been inspired by her in a logically necessary way, if on the other hand we detach ourselves deliberately or unconsciously from those associations, this love, as though it were in fact spontaneous and sprang from ourselves alone, will revive in order to bestow itself on another woman.

MARCEL PROUST

Within a Budding Grove


Now, girls, if you want to observe a young man hustle out after a pick and shovel, just tell him that your heart is in some other fellow's grave. Young men are grave-robbers by nature.

And love is part and union in itself
Of all that is in nature, brilliant, pure--
Of all in feeling, sacred and sublime.

How far above all price Love's costly wine,
Which can the meanest chalice make divine!

Life without Love is as a flower without fragrance.

Love is a process -- not a static condition. It's a commitment to do the work and come back into relationship with each other. To move through whatever gets in the way of your love for one another.

I am a lover and have not found my thing to love. That is a big point if you know enough to realize what I mean. It makes my destruction inevitable, you see. There are few who understand that.

SHERWOOD ANDERSON

"Tandy", Winesburg, Ohio


The capacity to love is the fruit of age, not the monopoly of youth.

SIMON MAY

Love: A History


You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel

Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot.

"So Cruel", Achtung Baby


When a man and woman are successfully in love, their whole activity is energized and victorious. They walk better, their digestion improves, they think more clearly, their secret worries drop away, the world is fresh and interesting, and they can do more than they dreamed that they could do. In love of this kind sexual intimacy is not the dead end of desire as it is in romantic or promiscuous love, but periodic affirmation of the inward delight of desire pervading an active life.

WALTER LIPPMANN

A Preface to Morals

Tags: Walter Lippmann


I think love is serious. It's like an invention: sometimes it lies deep down inside you, great and quiet--and at other times it racks you and keeps you from sleeping.

WILLIAM JOHN LOCKE

Septimus


Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh, no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark
Whose worth's unknown, although its height be taken.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

"sonnet cxvi"

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language.

Such as are excited by the gentler influence of Love assume more of affection in their looks, sink their voice into greater softness, and manifest in their gestures greater nobleness of soul.

XENOPHON

The Banquet

Tags: Xenophon


Love is an anesthesia. It puts you to sleep, it allows you to overlook, not question, not care ... and then, one day, you come to. And, by God and all his horny angels ... it's an eye opener.

Those who really love, love in silence, with deeds and not with words.
