Best Quotes about Love

My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away

Wilde, Kim

Great passions, my dear, don't exist: they're liars fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while.

Magnani, Anna

Love... Force it and it disappears. You cannot will love, nor even control it. You can only guide its expression. It comes or it goes according to those qualities in life that invite it or deny its presence.

Seabury, David

Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.

Rubinstein, Arthur

Macarius of Egypt, St.

Fitzgerald, Zelda

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

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

Alan Watts

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

Blaise Pascal

Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress; and love has changed to kindliness.

Brooke, Rupert

16.

Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

17.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Mitchell, Margaret

Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.

Nathan, George Jean

20.

Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.

Lawrence, D. H.

21.

Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.

Arendt, Hannah

A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved, by others. (Wizard to the Tin Man)

It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found -- not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.

Teresa of Avila, St.

26.

Law, William

29.

Madame, it is an old word and each one takes it new and wears it out himself. It is a word that fills with meaning as a bladder with air and the meaning goes out of it as quickly. It may be punctured as a bladder is punctured and patched and blown up again and if you have not had it does not exist for you. All people talk of it, but those who have had it are marked by it, and I would not wish to speak of it further since of all things it is the most ridiculous to talk of and only fools go through it many times.

Hemingway, Ernest

30.

We love in another's soul whatever of ourselves we can deposit in it; the greater the deposit, the greater the love.

Ann Radcliffe

37.

Love comes from blindness, friendship from knowledge.

Bussy-Rabutin, Comte De

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Levine, Stephen

40.

What makes lovers never tire of one another is that they talk always about themselves.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
