Woody Allen
Where there is love, distance doesn't matter.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.
Jean Baudrillard
Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.... And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8
Love can be compared to a double-edged serrated sword. It offers the most divine, and most preferable protection and joy that anyone could ever want. But, when it goes away, we are scarred and hurt beyond all imagination. Anyone and everyone who has felt the sting, bite, and poison of unrecquited or lost love knows what it is like to die a living death.
Elan Buckley
Love is watching someone die.
Death Cab for Cutie
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.
Albert Einstein
Love ain't nothing but sex misspelled.
Harlan Ellison, Title of book (1968)
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
one distorted love
Love partakes of the soul itself. It is of the same nature. Like the soul, it is a divine spark; it is incorruptible, indivisible, imperishable. It is a point of fire within us, which is immortal and infinite, which nothing can limit and nothing can extinguish. We feel it burning even in the marrow of our bones, and we see it radiate even to the depths of the sky.
Victor Hugo in Les Misérables
Love loves to love love.
James Joyce in "Ulysses"
People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.
Ken Kesey
The famous myth from Plato's Symposium: People were hermaphrodites until God splits them in two, and now all the halves wander around the world over seeking one another. Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.
Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being)
"Love's an excuse to get hurt. And to hurt."
Conor Oberst
For where thou art, there is the world itself, and where though art not, desolation.
William Shakespeare in Henry VI, Part II, Act iii, Sc.2
You know you're in love when you can't sleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Dr. Seuss
Love is a madness; if thwarted it develops fast.
Mark Twain
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".
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. in Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons, "Address at Dedication of Wheaton College Library, 1973" (1974).
How many loved your moments of glad grace
And loved your beauty with love false or true
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
William Butler Yeats
