Best Quotes about Love

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

William Shakespeare

Cervantes, Miguel De

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.
