Motivational Quotes
Love
Such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable; always requiring new assurances from the object of its interest.
Best Quotes about Love
If you could only love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world.
Fox, Emmet
In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.
Proverb, French
Love, while you are able to love.
Frieligrath, A.
What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?
Southey, Robert
Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild.
Delp, Alexis
I never loved another person the way I loved myself.
West, Mae
Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.
John of the Cross, St.
If love is shelter, I'm going to walk in the rain.
Love is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.
Mencken, H. L.
Nuptial love makes mankind; friendly love perfects it; but wanton love corrupts and debases it.
Bacon, Francis
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
Petrarch, Francesco
True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.
Stendhal, Henri B.
The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boist'rous, and it pricks like a thorn.
William Shakespeare
Love is said to be blind, but I know some fellows in love who can see twice as much in their sweethearts as I do.
Billings, Josh
Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists.
Brookner, Anita
We cannot avoid using power, cannot escape the compulsion to afflict the world, so let us, cautious in diction and mighty in contradiction, love powerfully.
Buber, Martin
To always be loved one must ever be agreeable.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley
Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is.
Ackerman, Diane
One does not fall in love; one grows into love, and love grows in him.
Menninger, Karl A.
Love is everything. It is the key to life, and its influences are those that move the world.
Trine, Ralph Waldo
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.
Reagan, Ronald
Every man loves what he is good at.
Shadwell, Thomas
When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.
Pascal, Blaise
Naturally, love's the most distant possibility.
Bataille, Georges
No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.
Pavese, Cesare
Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the ocean of God's beauty! If you descend to the uttermost depths, there you will find the gem of love.
Hymn, Bengali
Clenched Soul
We have lost even this twilight.
No one saw us this evening hand in hand
while the blue night dropped on the world.
I have seen from my window
the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.
Sometimes a piece of sun
burned like a coin in my hand.
I remembered you with my soul clenched
in that sadness of mine that you know.
Where were you then?
Who else was there?
Saying what?
Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly
when I am sad and feel you are far away?
The book fell that always closed at twilight
and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet.
Always, always you recede through the evenings
toward the twilight erasing statues.
We have lost even this twilight.
No one saw us this evening hand in hand
while the blue night dropped on the world.
I have seen from my window
the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.
Sometimes a piece of sun
burned like a coin in my hand.
I remembered you with my soul clenched
in that sadness of mine that you know.
Where were you then?
Who else was there?
Saying what?
Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly
when I am sad and feel you are far away?
The book fell that always closed at twilight
and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet.
Always, always you recede through the evenings
toward the twilight erasing statues.
Neruda, Pablo
To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.
Borges, Jorge Luis
Self-love depressed becomes self-loathing.
Kempton, Sally
Human Love... It is that extra creation that stands hurt and baffled at the place of death. Being human, wanting children and sunlight and breath to go on, forever.
Leach, Christopher
The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.
Disraeli, Benjamin
I do not love you
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
that this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Neruda, Pablo
Let no one believe that he has received the divine kiss, if he knows the truth without loving it or loves it without understanding it. But blessed is that kiss whereby not only is God recognized but also the Father is loved; for there is never full knowledge without perfect love.
Bernard, St.
Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.
Dyer, Wayne
Women are often under the impression that men are much more madly in love with them than they really are.
W. Somerset Maugham
A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.
Fielding, Henry
Fall not in love, therefore; it will stick to your face.
National Lampoon
Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
I believe love produces a certain flowering of the whole personality which nothing else can achieve.
Sergeevich, Ivan
The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements, compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called love.
Gibran, Kahlil
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.
Angelou, Maya
Do all things with love.
Mandino, Og
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
Lennon, John
Who is wise in love, love most, say least.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.
Gibran, Kahlil
Love never reasons, but profusely gives; it gives like a thoughtless prodigal its all, and then trembles least it has done to little.
More, Hannah
When love begins to sicken and decay, it useth an enforced ceremony.
William Shakespeare
Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.
Fromm, Erich
