True love always brings joy to ourselves and to the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.

Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marring the whole girl.

If love is indeed a mirage then how does it quench real needs like our thirst, satiate our hunger? Are thirst & hunger just a state of mind that can be manipulated, satiated simply by a mirage?

"As I Watch a Love End I Realize, Love is Always a Stowaway", The Good Men Project, March 14, 2016


Many of us want love to be wrapped up in an attractive package with all the bells, whistles, hugs and kisses. I know I do. Father God, please let my mate be smart, kind, generous, a dreamer but a doer, mentally stable, financially free, an advocate and a consumer of therapy, and also, can he look like Idris Elba, please, and thanks! But that's not always what love is. Realistically, that's not even what like is!

Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirits shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers

DEPECHE MODE

"The Love Thieves", Ultra

That adoration which a young man gives to a woman whom he feels to be greater and better than himself, is hardly distinguishable from religious feeling. What deep and worthy love is so? whether of woman or child, or art or music. Our caresses, our tender words, our still rapture under the influence of autumn sunsets, or pillared vistas, or calm majestic statues, or Beethoven symphonies, all bring with them the consciousness that they are mere waves and ripples in an unfathomable ocean of love and beauty; our emotion in its keenest moment passes from expression into silence, our love at its highest flood rushes beyond its object, and loses itself in the sense of divine mystery.

GEORGE ELIOT

Adam Bede


Love forces, at last, this humility: you cannot love if you cannot be loved, you cannot see if you cannot be seen.

JAMES BALDWIN

Just Above My Head

Tags: James Baldwin


Love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive.

LOUISA MAY ALCOTT

Little Women


Love on his errand bound to go
Can swim the flood and wade through snow,
Where way is none, 't will creep and wind
And eat through Alps its home to find.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Love


In love, we are best pleased when we please others.

NORMAN MACDONALD

Maxims and Moral Reflections


If you love someone, then your freedom is curtailed. If you love someone, you give up much of your privacy. If you love someone, then you are no longer merely one person but half of a couple. To think or behave any other way is to risk losing that love.

LAURELL K. HAMILTON

To love is to will the good of the other.

A woman findeth in her last lover much of her first love; but a man seeth his next-to-the-last love, alway.

Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
