LOVE QUOTES XXXVI

quotations about love

Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.

THEODOR W. ADORNO

Minima Moralia


Love is the endless verb; a relationship encompassing the ultimate in holiness. Love does conquer death because in its moment lived it's eternal in nature. Love gives us our purpose, and is our ultimate memorial.

MITCHELL HURVITZ

"Perspectives: Love is tangible presence of God", Greenwich Time, October 27, 2017


Love is the centre and circumference;
The cause and aim of all things--'tis the key
To joy and sorrow, and the recompense
For all the ills that have been, or may be.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

"What Love Is"


Love is something we all talk about but rarely experience. We get sucked into settling, to waiting, to a wilting dating culture, to hatred and to meaningless rendezvous or "ghosting." Love is dying, and we're all forgetting about it.

SONYA MATEJKO

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

ENGLISH PROVERB


Love is basically for teenagers, and when it comes to real life for grown-ups, you're far better off with someone who's moderately pleased to see you when you're around, but leaves you in peace when you've got things to do.

K. J. PARKER

Evil for Evil


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 is a cognitive, willful act. Feelings have very little to do with it, particularly around three o'clock in the morning when the baby needs changing or somebody has "lost it" before getting to the bathroom to throw up.

Love is a boomerang that returns to the thrower's hand.

AUSTIN O'MALLEY

Keystones of Thought


Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all that there is in life, it seems to me. But I grant you, if you deny the VARIETY of love you deny love altogether. If you try to specialize love into one set of accepted feelings, you wound the very soul of love. Love MUST be multiform, else it is just tyranny, just death.

D. H. LAWRENCE

The Ladybird

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. His opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage".


Love for those too easily won does not last long.

ROMAN PROVERB


Love enters a man through his eyes, a woman through her ears.

POLISH PROVERB

Love dwindles by pairing.

AUSTIN O'MALLEY

Keystones of Thought


Love demands that we stop asking "how can my wife/parent/sibling be better" and start asking "how can I make my wife/parent/sibling the happiest in the world?" Love demands death to self.

CHRIS STEFANICK

"Love is Easy Until It's Tested", National Catholic Register, March 19, 2016


Love cannot in its very nature be peaceful or content. It is a restlessness, an unsatisfaction. I can grant a lasting love just as I can grant a lasting unsatisfaction; but the lasting love cannot be coupled with possession, for love is pain and desire and possession is easement and fulfilment.

JACK LONDON

The Kempton-Wace Letters


Love can make any place agreeable.

ARABIAN PROVERB


Love begins at home.
