Best Quotes about Love

Love is a spendthrift, leaves it arithmetic at home, is always in the red.

Scherer, Paul

Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.

Aragon, Louis

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. [John 13:35]

Bible

Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love.

Rand, Ayn

Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.

Judalet, Curtis

If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools.

Mansfield, Katherine

Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much as the two sides of an algebraic equation.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself.

Browning, Robert

17.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

Hay, Louise L.

18.

A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.

Richter, Jean Paul

19.

Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.

Freud, Sigmund

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes -- and the stars through his soul.

Hugo, Victor

21.

Lawrence, D. H.

The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.

Pilgrim, Peace

23.

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

24.

If love be blind, it best agrees with night.

William Shakespeare

Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love, though I'd stepped in it a few times.

Rita Rudner

26.

Once you have learned to love, You will have learned to live.

27.

One seeks to make the loved one entirely happy, or, if that cannot be, entirely wretched.

Bruyere, Jean De La

28.

When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

Bowen, Elizabeth

29.

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

30.

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.

Stael, Germaine De

31.

The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.

Camus, Albert

32.

People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the comma bacillus.

Proust, Marcel

33.

Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.
