Love is the possibility of possibilities. Its farthest reach is beyond us, no matter how long we love or how much. It will always remain the mute mystery to whose ecstasy and ache we can only surrender with a yes.

I'll tell you ... what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter -- as I did!

Let your love flow out on all living things.

There's always a moment when you start to fall out of love, whether it's with a person or an idea or a cause, even if it's one you only narrate to yourself years after the event: a tiny thing, a wrong word, a false note, which means that things can never be quite the same again.

The only everyday and eternal reality was love.

I love you pretty baby
You're the only love I've ever known
Just as long as you stay with me
The whole world is my throne
Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' we can call our own

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

NORMAN MACDONALD

Maxims and Moral Reflections


What is commonly called "falling in love" is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.

ECKHART TOLLE

A New Earth


Love is a flaming heart, and its flames aspire
Till they cloud the soul in the smoke of a windy fire.

ARTHUR SYMONS

"In the Wood of Finvara"

Most people know the sheer wonder that goes with falling in love, how not only does everything in heaven and earth become new, but the lover himself becomes new. It is literally like the sap rising in the tree, putting forth new green shoots of life.

Call us what you will, we are made such by love.

JOHN DONNE

The Canonization

Tags: John Donne


The truth about love is that it is ever changing. Throughout the life of a relationship, individuals change and life itself changes. Love has to be flexible enough to accommodate new information, new roles, and new ways of loving one another.

Love's fire colors once our neutral form, to blacken to eternal embers.

It is only the souls that do not love that go empty in this world.

ROBERT HUGH BENSON

The History of Richard Raynal, Solitary

Tags: Robert Hugh Benson


Though she had been besieged, courted, and pursued by men who had fallen in love with her, she did not in her heart believe in the existence of love. It seemed to her as unreal as the painted drop scenes, the temples of love, and the banks of roses that formed the settings for her dances. But though she was cold and insensitive to love, she was esteemed a wonderful mistress. She herself practiced love as a duty imposed by her profession, a part to be played that might sometimes please but always fatigued her and called for a high degree of art.

Even kindergarten love is hard work.

The caresses over which love presides are always pure.

HONORÉ DE BALZAC

Physiology of Marriage

Tags: Honoré de Balzac


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


And you tempt me into your House of Love--
I, who have come from far
Through wintry forest and homeless heath,
Friend of the wind and star?
Ah, I fear the warmth of the ingleside
And the depths of your dear caress
Will make me forget what I learned out there
In the stubble and loneliness!

Burning with tender love is not really an image for someone who has warmed mercury over a gentle flame. In slowness, gentleness, and hope we have the hidden force of moral perfection and of material transmutation.
