Best Quotes about Love

Scratch a lover, and find a foe.

Parker, Dorothy

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

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.

It is the privilege of those who fear love to murder those who do not fear it!
