Amiel, Henri Frederic

Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies.

Augustine, St.

I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be.

Love can never grow old. Locks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter's frost and chill, summer's warmth is in them still.

Buscaglia, Leo

Angelou, Maya

26.

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

One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well --but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself?

Hazzard, Shirley

28.

Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.

Kempis, Thomas

34.

The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time.

Durrell, Lawrence

35.

People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small. They can desire others, because desire comes out of a sense of inner incompleteness, which demands to be filled. But they can not love others, because love is an affirmation of the living growing being in all of us. If you don't have it, you can't give it.

Matthews, Andrew

In love there are two things -- bodies and words.

Oates, Joyce Carol

49.

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

50.

Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.

Pilgrim, Peace
