Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

Please do not think for a second, as some people do, that Love is primarily an affair of the emotions. It is not: it never ought to be. It is an affair of the will: it is an act of choice.

Love's a bully, pushing and shoving
In the belly of a woman.
Heavy rhythm taking over
To stick together a man and a woman
Stick together man and a woman
Stick together.

"Do You Feel Loved", Pop


Love is a powerful neurological condition like hunger or thirst, only more permanent. We talk about love being blind or unconditional, in the sense that we have no control over it. But then, that is not so surprising, since love is basically chemistry.

JIM AL-KHALILI

"What is love -- can it really be defined and explained?", The Guardian, February 12, 2016


Love -- bittersweet, irrepressible -- loosens my limbs and I tremble.

SAPPHO

"To Atthis"

Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) was a Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Although most of her poetry is now lost, she was regarded in ancient times as one of the greatest lyric poets and given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet."

It isn't enough to love people because they're good to you, or because in some way or other you're going to get something by it. We have to love because we love loving.

JOHN GALSWORTHY

A Bit O' Love


Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed.

LAURELL K. HAMILTON

I would rather have eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, lips that cannot speak, than a heart that cannot love.

ROBERT TIZON

attributed, Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out


To follow the impulse of love and feeling is the secret law of every woman's heart.

Letters of Two Brides

It is not in craving after ready-made, complete and finished things that love finds its meaning -- but in the urge to participate in the becoming of such things.

To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows.

IVAN PANIN

You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so how could we take it back without asking?

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

JOHN DONNE

The Anagram

Tags: John Donne


If a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest.

PLATO

The Republic

Tags: Plato


Near even a candle, the visible heat.
So it is with a person in love.

JANE HIRSHFIELD

"The Visible Heat"


Deep Love is slow of speech and void of art;
Silence and timid tears reveal his heart.
But shallow Love is ever eloquent
To mouth his meagre passion -- and depart.
