Best Quotes about Love

Sometimes when you look back on a situation, you realize it wasn't all you thought it was. A beautiful girl walked into your life. You fell in love. Or did you? Maybe it was only a childish infatuation, or maybe just a brief moment of vanity.

A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved, by others. (Wizard to the Tin Man)

Movie, Wizard of Oz

13.

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.

Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

14.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

Crawford, Joan

15.

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

16.

To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.

Orwell, George

Against love's fire fear's frost hath dissolution.

William Shakespeare

28.

'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.

Cervantes, Miguel De

29.

When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.

Becker, Ernest

30.

Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.

Hurston, Zora Neale

31.

Love is a gift from God, and as we obey His laws and genuinely learn to serve others, we develop God's love in our lives. Love of God is the means of unlocking divine powers which help us to live worthily and to overcome the world.

In love, as in gluttony, pleasure is a matter of the utmost precision.

Calvino, Italo

35.

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

36.

To love one child and to love all children, whether living or dead --somewhere these two loves come together. To love a no-good but humble punk and to love an honest man who believes himself to be an honest man --somewhere these, too, come together.

Duras, Marguerite

37.

We love those who admire us, but not those whom we admire.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

38.

What is the main thing in love? to know and to hide. To know about the one you love and to hide that you love. At times the hiding (shame) overpowers the knowing (passion). The passion for the hidden -- the passion for the revealed.

Tsvetaeva, Marina

39.

That is the true season of love; when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved as much before, and that no one will ever love in the same way again.

50.

Love ceases to be a pleasure, when it ceases to be a secret.

Behn, Aphra
