Love Motivational Quotes

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost

2.
I love those who do not know how to live for today.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
Peguy, Charles

A false enchantment can all too easily last a lifetime.
Auden, W. H.

If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.

Drummond, Henry

10.
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

I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.

Saddest Poem

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.

Write, for instance: The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance.

The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like this, I held her in my arms. I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.

To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.

That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.

As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.

The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.

I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.

Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once
belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.
Neruda, Pablo

16.
Nowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.
Malory, Sir Thomas

17.
There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.
Connolly, Cyril

18.
It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.
Williams, William Carlos

19.
Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much as the two sides of an algebraic equation.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare

21.
Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but much less magical.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

22.
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

23.
It is easier to guard a sack full of fleas than a girl in love.
Proverb, Jewish

24.
A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul's highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.
Eliot, George

25.
When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love.
J. K. Rowling

26.
Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense.
Rowland, Helen

27.
When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.
Pascal, Blaise

28.
If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.
Angelis, Barbara De

29.
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

30.
The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.
Disraeli, Benjamin

31.
Love is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
Our first and last love is... self-love.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

33.
Love is the strange bewilderment that overtakes one person on account of another person.
Thurber, James

34.
To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.
Orwell, George

35.
O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, that he hath turn'd a heaven unto hell!
William Shakespeare

36.
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.
Shakespeare, William

37.
Who is wise in love, love most, say least.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

38.
Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.
Plato

39.
Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life.
Shan, Merle

40.
I don't want to live -- I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Fitzgerald, Zelda

41.
We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.
ThÝch Nhat Hanh

42.
If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.
Davies, Robertson

43.
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.

44.
You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.
Flaherty, Edward

45.
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.
Neruda, Pablo

46.
Love is not only something you feel. It's something you do.
Wilkerson, David

47.
We know that we have passed from death into life, because we love... [1 John 3:14]
Bible

48.
We often speak of love when we really should be speaking of the drive to dominate or to master, so as to confirm ourselves as active agents, in control of our own destinies and worthy of respect from others.
Szasz, Thomas

49.
When you interact with another, an illusion is part of this dynamic. This illusion allows each soul to perceive what it needs to understands in order to heal.
Zukav, Gary

50.
Learn what you are and be such.
Pindar
