Motivational Quotes

Love

For love... has two faces; one white, the other black; two bodies; one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together

- Woolf, Virginia

Best Quotes about Love

What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?

Southey, Robert

Who is wise in love, love most, say least.

Tennyson, Lord Alfred

If there is anything better than to be loved it is loving.

For where there is true love, a man is neither out of measure lifted up by prosperity, nor cast down by mishap; whether you give or take away from him, so long as he keeps his beloved, he has a spring of inward peace. Thus, even though thy outward man grieve, or weep downright, that may well be borne, if only thy inner man remain at peace, perfectly content with the will of God.

Tauler, Johannes
