Love is somthing that can not be
explained - the force that drives us to
protect the ones we care about.
?Adam
Is not a kiss the very autograph of love?
You love simply because you cannot help it
No matter where you go,
however far away,
a part of me will be with you
and a part of you, with me, will stay
But to see her was to love her,
love but her,
and love her forever
As for me, to love you alone, to make
you happy, to do nothing which would
contradict your wishes, this is my
destiny and the meaning of my life.
?Napoleon Bonaparte
Men always want to be a woman's first love.
Women have a more subtle instinct:
What they like is to be a man's last romance.
?Oscar Wilde
I only wish to be the fountain of love
from which you drink,
every drop promising eternal passion.
?Anonymous
Talk not of wasted affection;
affection never was wasted.
?Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Love is most nearly itself when
here and now cease to matter.
?T.S. Eliot
Absence lessens half-hearted passions, and
increases great ones, as the wind
puts out candles and yet stirs up the fire.
?Duc de la Rouchefoucauld
There is no end. There is no beginning.
There is only the infinite passion of life.
?Federico Fellini
How bold one gets when
one is sure of being loved!
?Sigmund Freud
Soul meets soul on lovers lips.
?Percy Shelley
Why love if losing hurts so much?
I have no answers anymore?
only the life I have lived? The pain
now is part of the happiness (then).
?Anthony Hopkins
You were made perfectly to be loved -
and surely I have loved you,
in the idea of you, my whole life long.
?Elizabeth Barrett Browning
To love is to place our happiness
in the happiness of another.
?Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz
I never knew how to worship
until I knew how to love.
?Henry Ward Beecher
There is a land of the living and a
land of the dead and the bridge is love,
the only survival, the only meaning.
?Thornton Wilder
You say that love is nonsense....I tell
you it is no such thing. For weeks
and months it is a steady physical
pain, an ache about the heart,
never leaving one, by night or by day;
a long strain on one's nerves like
toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable
at any one instant, but exhausting
by its steady drain on the strength.
?Henry Adams
If thou must love me, let it be
for nought Except for love's
sake only. Do not say, I love her
for her smile . . . her look . . . her way
Of speaking gently . . . for a trick
of thought That falls in well with
mine, and, certes, brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day-
For these things in themselves,
Beloved, may be changed, or change
for thee- and love so wrought,
May be unwrought so.
?Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Pleasure of love lasts but a moment,
Pain of love lasts a lifetime.
?Jean Pierre Claris De Florian
Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away.
Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.
?Louise Erdrich
Love must not touch the marrow of the soul.
Our affections must be breakable chains
that we can cast them off or tighten them.
?Euripides
Today I begin to understand what love
must be, if it exists.... When we are parted,
we each feel the lack of the other half of
ourselves. We are incomplete like a book
in two volumes of which the first has been lost.
That is what I imagine love to be:
incompleteness in absence.
?Goncourt
The love we give away is
the only love we keep.
?Elbert Hubbard
Do you want me to tell you something
really subversive? Love is everything it's
cracked up to be. That's why people are
so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth
fighting for, being brave for, risking
everything for. And the trouble is, if you
don't risk anything, you risk even more.
?Erica Jong
True love is like ghosts, which everybody
talks about and few have seen.
?François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
To a person in love, the value of the
individual is intuitively known.
Love needs no logic for its mission.
?Charles A. Lindbergh
This was love at first sight, love everlasting:
a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected-in
so far as it could be a matter of conscious
awareness; it took entire possession of him,
and he understood, with joyous amazement,
that this was for life.
?Thomas Mann
Love is a smoke made with the
fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire
sparkling in lovers' eyes, Being
vexed, a sea nourished with
lovers' tears. What is it else?
A madness most discreet, A choking
gall and a preserving sweet.
?William Shakespeare
Love looks not with the eyes, but with
the mind; And therefore is
winged Cupid painted blind.
?William Shakespeare
Love has features which pierce
all hearts, he wears a bandage
which conceals the faults of those
beloved. He has wings, he comes
quickly and flies away the same.
?Voltaire
Fantasy love is much better than
reality love. Never doing it is very
exciting. The most exciting
attractions are between two
opposites that never meet.
?Andy Warhol
I have you. A lover and a friend.
You are everything I need. You
are the sun, the air I breathe.
Without you, life wouldn't be the
same. Please don't ever go away.
And if you go, then don't
forget to take me with you.
?Basia
Sometimes, it is good to be "alone"....
but that doesn't make us lonely.
It is not a matter of being present
"with" someone, it is a matter of
being present " to" someone.
?Source Unknown
To love is like playing the
piano. First, you must learn
to play by the rules. Then,
you must forget the rules
and play from your heart.
?Source Unknown
Absence from whom we love is
worse than death, and frustrates
hope severer than despair.
?William Cowper
So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for
I know love, I am loved by thee.
?Robert Browning
I love you very, very much, and that
is all that counts. You fill my soul and
my heart. You occupy my thoughts.
I embrace you in my mind as I will one
day in my arms. Forever.
Where we belong.
You shine very brightly in my
heart, and in my mind. Small little
truths that I either have to accept
or dispel. You will always be safe
in my heart, no matter how dark
the rest of it may become.
You will always shine bright.
Stand out among the rest.
This much I know.
But you realize, love should ALWAYS
start as friendship. If you can't be friends
first, then love is USELESS. And I will
be adamant about this fact. Lovers
must be best friends. If you ask me,
if you ask a married couple who their
best friends are, and they reply
someone OTHER than their spouse,
their marriage will fail. Friends first.
Always.
A heart truly in love never loses
hope but always believes in the
promise of love, no matter how long
the time and how far the distance.
Once in awhile, right in the middle of an
ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.
?Unknown
The word love can be explained in
thousands of ways, but the only
word that comes to my mind is you.
I think we dream so we don't have to be
away from one another. If we're in each
other's dreams, we'll always be together.
?Hobbes
Why are old lovers able to become
friends? Two reasons; They never
really loved each other,
or they love each other still.
You are what happened
when I wished upon a star.
If I tell you I love you can I keep
you forever? And if I tell you I miss
you can we always be together?
When you say that you love
someone, you're not always
right. But when you feel that you
love someone,
you know that it's true.
Don't hug me, it only makes
me want to never let go.
