To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission. It roots in a bare wisdom that exists in senses more than mind, a wisdom that, in primitive form, evolved the mind which so often overlooks it.

CHARLES LINDBERGH

Autobiography of Values

Man ever is and always shall be blessed; for he loves, and love is an onward current that never ebbs; and borne upon this current humanity will at last make its far, fair haven; and meanwhile, as it voyages, it will find the course not too rough, but glorified by frequent halcyon days and calm nights set with stars.

FRANK CUMMINS LOCKWOOD

Robert Browning


I've found out that falling in love doesn't have anything to do with time. It can take a year or an instant. It happens when it's ready to happen.

NORA ROBERTS

The Calhouns


Love is ... telling someone when they have crap between their teeth.

EVA WISEMAN

"Love is ... let me count the ways you are special", The Guardian, February 14, 2016


Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but antipolitical, perhaps the most powerful of all antipolitical forces.

Love is the Soul's exquisite vibrations....
Love is the Soul at song.

EDWIN LEIBFREED

You ought to love all mankind; nay, every individual of mankind. You ought not to love the individuals of your domestic circles less, but to love those who exist beyond it more.

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

"Essay on Christianity"


They say love's like a bus, and if you wait long enough another one will come along, but not in this place where the buses are slow and most of the cute ones are gay.

Adverbs

Tags: Daniel Handler


When a plain-looking woman is loved, it is certain to be very passionately; for either her influence on her lover is irresistible, or she has some secret and more irresistible charms than those of beauty.

JEAN DE LA BRUYÈRE

"Of the Affections", Les Caractères

Jean de La Bruyère (16 August 1645 - 11 May 1696) was a French philosopher and moralist noted for his satire. His Caractères, which appeared in 1688, captures the psychological, social, and moral profile of French society of his time.


Love clamors far more incessantly and passionately at a closed gate than an open one!

Love is the rule of rules, the key to all mysteries.

Love is a king who reigns without laws.

SPANISH PROVERB


I've read more than a hundred books
Seeing love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer
I'm still no nearer
The meaning of love

DEPECHE MODE

"The Meaning of Love", A Broken Frame


You can fall in love with life, you can fall in love with yourself and with those around you. Tell the people important to you that you love them, and most importantly treat them like you do. Don't take love for granted because it's what binds the world together.

SONYA MATEJKO

"This Is What I Know About The World At 24", Huffington Post, April 5, 2016


To describe love-making is immoral and immodest; you know it is. To describe it as it really is, or would appear to you and me as lookers-on, would be to describe the most dreary farce, to chronicle the most tautological twaddle. To take note of sighs, hand-squeezes, looks at the moon, and so forth--does this business become our dignity as historians? Come away from those foolish young people--they don't want us; and dreary as their farce is, and tautological as their twaddle, you may be sure it amuses them, and that they are happy enough without us.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY

Philip


The poorest lives some little blossoms bring
To deck Love's altar in the days of spring.

What amazes me as I hit the motorway is not the fact that everyone loses someone, but that everyone loves someone. It seems like such a massive waste of energy--and we all do it, all the people beetling along between the white lines, merging, converging, overtaking. We each love someone, even though they will die. And we keep loving them, even when they are not there to love any more. And there is no logic or use to any of this, that I can see.

If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.

Should I draw you the picture of my heart, it would be what I hope you still would love, though it contained nothing new. The early possession you obtained there, and the absolute power you have ever maintained over it, leave not the smallest space unoccupied.
