Best Quotes about Love

Pilgrim, Peace

If somebody says, I love you, to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol-holder requires? I love you, too.

Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

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.

27.

People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small.
