'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark our coming, and look brighter when we come. Lord Byron
Yes, Love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire. Lord Byron
Let none think to fly the danger for soon or late love is his own avenger. Lord Byron
'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. Miguel de Cervantes
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. G.K. Chesterton
Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old. John Ciardi
Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole. Samuel T. Coleridge
Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship-never. Charles C. Colton
You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache orrheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength. Henry Adams
Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel. Pierre Corneille
Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all. This idea that love overtakes you is nonsense. This is but a polite manifestation of sex. To love another you have to undertake some fragment of their destiny. Quentin Crisp
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding. Bette Davis
Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us. Madame De Staël
Unable are the Loved to die For Love is Immortality. Emily Dickinson
Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine. Isak Dinesen
