Love and faith are seen in works.

GERMAN PROVERB


Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet.

TOM ROBBINS

Still Life with Woodpecker

Tom Robbins (born July 22, 1932) is an American novelist best known for his novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, which was made into a movie in 1993 starring Uma Thurman, Lorraine Bracco, and Keanu Reeves.


Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

A Testament of Hope


If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.

EMMA GOLDMAN

"The Tragedy of Woman's Emancipation"

Tags: Emma Goldman


To me, love is a pure idea forged in flesh, awkwardly maybe, but it had to connect to somewhere, despite twists and turns of underground cable. An all-too-perfect thing. Sometimes the lines get crossed. Or you get a wrong number. But that's nobody's fault. It'll always be like that, so long as we exist in this physical form. As a matter of principle.

HARUKI MURAKAMI

Dance, Dance, Dance

Tags: Haruki Murakami


This is love: You stop bothering about the universal, the general, get sucked instead into the local and particular: When will I see her again? What shall we do today? Do you like these shoes? Theory and reflection are delicate old uncles bustled out of the way by the boisterous nephews action and desire. Themes evaporate, only plot remains.

GLEN DUNCAN

The Last Werewolf

Tags: Glen Duncan


We can love with our minds, but can we love only with our minds? Love extends itself all the time, so that we can love even with our senseless nails: we love even with our clothes, so that a sleeve can feel a sleeve.

GRAHAM GREENE

The End of the Affair


When we are in love, our love is too big a thing for us to be able together to contain it within ourselves. It radiates towards the loved one, finds there a surface which arrests it, forcing it to return to its starting-point, and it is this repercussion of our own feeling which we call the other's feelings and which charms us more then than on its outward journey because we do not recognise it as having originated in ourselves.

MARCEL PROUST

Within a Budding Grove

Tags: Marcel Proust


Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.

JEANETTE WINTERSON

Written on the Body


What could be more serious than the love of man for woman, what more commanding, more impressive, bearing in its bosom the seeds of death; at the same time these lovers, these people entering into illusion glittering eyed, must be danced round with mockery, decorated with garlands.

VIRGINIA WOOLF

To the Lighthouse

Tags: Virginia Woolf


Need we say it was not love,
Now that love is perished?

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY

"Passer Mortuus Est"

Tags: Edna St. Vincent Millay


Oh love's sweet enchantment is common,
It rules the world everywhere;
'Tis the rose in the bosom of woman,
The bouquet that man loves to wear;
'Tis the Spirit that lightens his labour,
Or whether on land or on sea;
'Tis the charm of the pipe and the tabor,
And as dear to the slave as the free!

C. B. LANGSTON

"Love"


A pair of bright eyes with a dozen glances suffice to subdue a man; to enslave him, and enflame him; to make him even forget; they dazzle him so that the past becomes straightway dim to him; and he so prizes them that he would give all his life to possess 'em.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY

Esmond


Love must be the same in all worlds.

HORACE MANN

Thoughts

Tags: Horace Mann


It may be true that love is blind, but only for what is ugly: its sight is keen enough for what is beautiful.

IVAN PANIN

Thoughts


Ah! let us love, my Love, for Time is heartless,
Be happy while you may!

ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE

"The Lake"

Tags: Alphonse de Lamartine


Here is one of the most beautiful effects of love, its confidence not only in the present, but in the future as well. Cynics may declare that it is only the deceitful way nature uses to make human beings perform her will. To such a view all lovers are indifferent. In their confidence they bind themselves to one another, not for a day only, not even for a lifetime, but for eternity.

I think love adds to everything. I'm an old softie about that. I think love is the most important thing in life. If you don't have [a relationship], you're always looking for one. It's the motivator, the driver.

SHERYL CROW

Tags: Sheryl Crow


It is love that I am seeking for,
But of a beautiful, unheard-of kind
That is not in the world.
