We all crave love. Its universal language unites us as humans. Yet, it also slays us. If you gave people a choice between heartbreak and the Zika virus, we'd all be feverish in bed. Love's pain spreads across our flesh faster than any plague. As soon as you think you're cured, you relapse.

"The responsibility to fall out of love is on you", Quartz, August 5, 2016


Desire doubled is love and love doubled is madness.

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

JANE HIRSHFIELD

"The Visible Heat"


In this day and age, love is temporary and marriage is unnatural--the product of Madison Avenue advertising executives and television producers.

Love does nothing but make you weak! It turns you into an object of pity and derision--a mewling pathetic creature no more fit to live than a worm squirming on the pavement after a hard summer rain.

Love is eternal as long as it lasts.

VINICIUS DE MORAIS

attributed, The New York Times Biographical Service, 1991


Love--that divine fire which was made to light and warm the temple of home--sometimes burns at unholy altars.

HORACE MANN

Thoughts

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

"In Search of a Majority"

Strange
indeed how love in other
ways so particular
will pick a corner
in that charnel-house
tidy it and coil up there, perhaps
even fall asleep--her face
turned to the wall!

Love is the one thing that can really sure-enough lighten all of life's dark clouds.

All passions make us commit some faults, love alone makes us ridiculous.

FRANÇOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD

Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims


Love, like reputation, once fled, never returns more.

APHRA BEHN

The History of the Nun

Aphra Behn (1640 - 1689) was an English playwright, poet, and novelist from the Restoration era. As one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing, she broke cultural barriers and served as a literary role model for later generations of women authors.

But now I know that there is no killing
A thing like Love, for it laughs at Death.
There is no hushing, there is no stilling
That which is part of your life and breath.
You may bury it deep, and leave behind you
The land, the people that knew your slain;
It will push the sods from its grave, and find you
On wastes of water or desert plain.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

"From the Grave"


[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

Every little thing wants to be loved.

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and border and salute each other.

RAINER MARIA RILKE

Letters to a Young Poet

Tags: Rainer Maria Rilke


At night the grackle Love will start
To shriek and shrill,
Nor will he once be still
Till he has wide awake the backward heart.
So selfish Love,
Go hush;
Feathers and claws take off
Or seek some bush.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

WOODY ALLEN

Love and Death

Tags: Woody Allen


Love is an open door to a possibility of a joyful dance, getting your needs met and fulfilling someone else's needs, trusting you will be safe.
