Best Quotes about Love

Love may be blind, but it can sure find its way around in the dark!

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
