William Shakespeare

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

Hazlitt, William

Lovers should also have their days off.

Barney, Natalie Clifford

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.

Stendhal, Henri B.

32.

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

Love is life's end, but never ending. Love is life's wealth, never spent, but ever spending. Love's life's reward, rewarded in rewarding.

Spencer, Herbert

43.

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

Is love supposed to last throughout all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. If I loved her, how could I leave her? If I felt that way then, how come I don't feel anything now?
