Love

Immature love says: I love you because I need you. Mature love says: I need you because I love you.

- Fromm, Erich

Best Quotes about Love

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Mitchell, Margaret

I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of.

Jane Austen

When love is in excess it brings a man no honor nor worthiness.

Euripides

I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be. We generally make up our minds beforehand to the sort of person we should like, grave or gay, black, brown, or fair; with golden tresses or raven locks; -- and when we meet with a complete example of the qualities we admire, the bargain is soon struck.

Hazlitt, William

I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

Disney, Walt

There is no disguise that can for long conceal love where it exists or simulate it where it does not.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

The only victory over love is flight.

Bonaparte, Napoleon

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

Donne, John

Between lovers a little confession is a dangerous thing.

Rowland, Helen

10.

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

11.

When love begins to sicken and decay, it useth an enforced ceremony.

William Shakespeare

12.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long.

William Shakespeare

13.

Lovers should also have their days off.

Barney, Natalie Clifford

14.

Where both deliberate, the love is slight: Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight?

Marlowe, Christopher

15.

If love be blind, it best agrees with night.

William Shakespeare

16.

Love's pure silver flame gives each innermost spirit invisible warmth.

Verse, A Haiku

17.

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. [I Corinthians]

Bible

18.

The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

19.

It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found -- not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.

Teresa of Avila, St.

20.

Madame, it is an old word and each one takes it new and wears it out himself. It is a word that fills with meaning as a bladder with air and the meaning goes out of it as quickly. It may be punctured as a bladder is punctured and patched and blown up again and if you have not had it does not exist for you. All people talk of it, but those who have had it are marked by it, and I would not wish to speak of it further since of all things it is the most ridiculous to talk of and only fools go through it many times.

Hemingway, Ernest

21.

True love means two seeds grow separately until they join in Matrimony forever.

22.

If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

Reagan, Ronald

23.

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

24.

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

25.

Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress; and love has changed to kindliness.

Brooke, Rupert

26.

Love the moment and the energy of the moment will spread beyond all boundaries.

Kent, Sister Corita

27.

Only the really plain people know about love --the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they very soon exhaust their talents.

Hepburn, Katharine

28.

The love of those we don't love in return settles on the surface and from there quickly evaporates.

Paolo Giordano

29.

Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate.

Margaret Cho

30.

Think about a woman. Doesn't know you're thinking about her. Doesn't care you're thinking about her. Makes you think about her even more.

Martin Sage and Sybil Adelman

31.

Love means never having to say you're sorry.

Segal, Erich

32.

I donÆt think anyone can DO anything that would make him worthy of love. Love is a gift and cannot be earned. It can only be given.

Real Live Preacher

33.

Pity the selfishness of lovers: it is brief, a forlorn hope; it is impossible.

Bowen, Elizabeth

34.

Love is like a poisonous mushroom -- you don't know if it is the real thing until it is too late

35.

You can't buy love, but you can pay heavily for it.

Youngman, Henny

36.

But true love is a durable fire, in the mind ever burning. Never sick, never old, never dead. From itself never turning.

37.

Is your love for the Lord sufficient to give all your time and talents to his work?

38.

When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and bring joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.

Bolen, Jean Shinoda

39.

Without His love I can do nothing, with His love there is nothing I cannot do.

40.

When you're a teenager and you're in love, it's obvious to everyone but you and the person you're in love with.

John Scalzi

41.

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

King Jr. Martin Luther

42.

Love talked about is easily turned aside, but love demonstrated is irresistible.

Mooneyham, Stan

43.

People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.

Yates, Douglas

44.

The ostentation of our love, which, left unshown, is often left unloved.

William Shakespeare

45.

Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild.

Delp, Alexis

46.

We only love truly once. It is the first time and succeeding passions are less uncontrolled.

Du Coeur

47.

Things base and vile, holding no quantity, love can transpose to form and dignity.

William Shakespeare

48.

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

Plato

49.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

Sophocles

50.

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

Wilde, Oscar
