Love

Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.

- Chesterton, Gilbert K.

Best Quotes about Love

People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.

Yates, Douglas

My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away

Wilde, Kim

It is a beautiful trait in the lovers character, that they think no evil of the object loved.

Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

Love is stronger than violence.

Hesse, Hermann

'Tis the most tender part of love, each other to forgive.

John Sheffield

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

Russell, Bertrand

The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard --it is absurd, unreal, dangerous. The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.

Forster, Edward M.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

William Shakespeare

You talk too much, you laugh too loud, that's the price of love.

Ferry, Brian

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

11.

Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like?

Josh Brand and John Falsey

12.

Love the giver more than the gift.

Young, Brigham

13.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

14.

As Plato sometimes speaks of the divine love, it arises not out of indigency, as created love does, but out of fullness and redundancy; it is an overflowing fountain, and that love which descends upon created being is a free efflux from the almighty source of love; and it is well pleasing to him that those creatures which he hath made should partake of it.

15.

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth.

Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

16.

Love makes everything that is heavy light.

Kempis, Thomas

17.

Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love

Einstein, Albert

18.

She hadn't chosen him over all the others. The truth was that she hadn't even thought about anyone else.

Paolo Giordano

19.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, I love you.

Graham, Billy

20.

When first we met we did not guess that Love would prove so hard a master.

Bridges, Robert

21.

Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

William Shakespeare

22.

If love is shelter, I'm going to walk in the rain.

23.

Romantic love, in pornography as in life, is the mythic celebration of female negation. For a woman, love is defined as her willingness to submit to her own annihilation. The proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover.

Dworkin, Andrea

24.

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

25.

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

26.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.

Gibran, Kahlil

27.

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

28.

The only victory over love is flight.

Bonaparte, Napoleon

29.

A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.

Fielding, Henry

30.

A man in love is like a clipped coupon -- it's time to cash in.

West, Mae

31.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments: love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove : O, no! it is an ever fixed mark.

William Shakespeare

32.

Do you want to know a good way to fall in love? Just associate with all your pleasant experiences with someone, and disassociate from all the unpleasant ones.

Bandler, Richard

33.

Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.

Kempis, Thomas

34.

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.

Disraeli, Benjamin

35.

After the verb To Love...To Help is the most beautiful verb in the world.

Suttner, Bertha Von

36.

Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the ocean of God's beauty! If you descend to the uttermost depths, there you will find the gem of love.

Hymn, Bengali

37.

Love is begun by time; and that I see in passages of proof, time qualifies the spark and fire of it. There lives within the very flame of love a kind of wick or snuff that will abate it.

William Shakespeare

38.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes... Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

William Shakespeare

39.

Love conquers all; let us surrender to Love.

Virgil

40.

A life without love in it is like a heap of ashes upon a deserted hearth, with the fire dead, the laughter stilled and the light extinguished.

Tebbets, Frank

41.

I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.

Strindberg, J. August

42.

A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.

Angelou, Maya

43.

Perhaps the old monks were right when they tried to root love out; perhaps the poets are right when they try to water it. It is a blood-red flower, with the color of sin; but there is always the scent of a god about it.

Schreiner, Olive

44.

Love is a serious mental disease.

Plato

45.

Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another's soul.

Joyce, James

46.

Love, you are eternal like springtime.

Jiminez, Juan Ramon

47.

It is difficult to lay aside a confirmed passion.

Catullus

48.

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

Turner, Rev. Dale

49.

The love boat has crashed against the everyday.
