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, Edmond and Jules De

29.

Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.

Michael Masser and Linda Creed

30.

One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well --but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself?

Hazzard, Shirley

31.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Love is only the game that is not called on account of darkness.

Hirschfield, Mangnu

42.

Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten.

William Shakespeare

43.

I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.

Allen, Woody

44.

Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.

Taylor, Jeremy

45.

Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like?
