Best Quotes about Love

Listen! Encourage. Say something. Do something. Be yourself. Love

Turner, Rev. Dale

When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.

Socrates

Love is a conflict between reflexes and reflections.

Hirschfield, Mangnu

Love, love, love -- all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.

Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so.

Hubbard, Elbert
