Motivational Quotes

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

Best Quotes about Love

The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.

Angelis, Barbara De

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

William Shakespeare

However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience.

Winterson, Jeanette

When a person is uncertain in love, there is nothing easier than for him to put one and one together and to make three out of them.

Monica Fairview

Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; where little fear grows great, great love grows there.

William Shakespeare

Love is a friendship caught on fire.

Northern Exposure

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

Sand, George

When you interact with another, an illusion is part of this dynamic. This illusion allows each soul to perceive what it needs to understands in order to heal.

What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.

Augustine, St.

14.

Every day I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence that will risk nothing and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well.

Cholmondeley, Mary

15.

Go to the truth beyond the mind. Love is the bridge.

Levine, Stephen

16.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

William Shakespeare

17.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Bertrand Russell

18.

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.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments: love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.

William Shakespeare

24.

It is easier to guard a sack full of fleas than a girl in love.

Proverb, Jewish

25.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

Nin, Anais

26.

True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.

Stendhal, Henri B.

The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

Young, Margaret

30.

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

31.

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.

The advantage of love at first sight is that it delays a second sight.

Barney, Natalie Clifford

Brown, Norman O.

38.

Love is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.

Mencken, H. L.

39.

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

40.

There are few people who are not ashamed of their love affairs when the infatuation is over.
