A man in love prefers his passion to every other consideration, and is fonder of his mistress than he is of virtue. Should she prove vicious, she makes vice lovely in his eyes.

Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid.

Love thy neighbor, but pull not down thy hedge.

GERMAN PROVERB


A heat full of coldness, a sweet full of bitterness, a pain full of pleasantness, which maketh thoughts have eyes, and hearts, and ears; bred by desire, nursed by delight, weaned by jealousy, killed by dissembling, buried by ingratitude; and this is love.

JOHN LYLY

Gallathea and Midas


Love is an inevitable part of the human experience, and ironically, the least understood.

Love is never finished expressing itself.

GASTON BACHELARD

Tags: Gaston Bachelard


The true coronation of character is love. The true test of love is self-sacrifice. He knows not how to love who knows not how to suffer for love's sake. The love that costs nothing is worth--what it costs.

Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

WILLIAM BLAKE

Poems from Blake's Notebook


It is the plain women who know about love; the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.

KATHARINE HEPBURN

attributed, Evan Esar's 20,000 Quips & Quotes


Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone -- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

To have loved, to have been made happy thus,
What better fate has life in store for us?

ARTHUR SYMONS

"Variations Upon Love"


I've never had my heart broken ... It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all ... My lover and my best friend and my partner has been my work. But I certainly would in life have wanted to know--would like to know--what it was like to have a real partner.

Love, however doomed, had the capacity to attach buoys to the soul.

ARIANA FRANKLIN

Mistress of the Art of Death

Tags: Ariana Franklin


All human love is a faint type of God's;
An echoing note from a harmonious whole;
A feeble spark from an undying flame;
A single drop from an unfathomed sea:
But God's is infinite; it fills the earth
And heaven, and the broad, trackless realms of space.
