In
the midst of pain and urgent trouble we can not realize the supreme
happiness of being loved — sweetest and deepest of all meditations....
~Byron Caldwell Smith, letter to Kate Stephens
Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold. ~Zelda Fitzgerald
For some it is love undeniably. For others it is making it work, never actually knowing what it is. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Love is the law of life. ~Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Are you a man, Octave? Do you see the leaves falling from the trees, the sun rising and setting? Do you hear the ticking of the clock of time with each pulsation of your heart? Is there, then, such a difference between the love of a year and the love of an hour? I challenge you to answer that, you fool, as you sit there looking out at the infinite through a window not larger than your hand. ~Alfred de Musset, The Confession of a Child of the Century/La Confession d'un enfant du siècle, 1836, Desgenais to Octave, translated from French by Kendall Warren
Candle light, moon light, star light,
The brightest glow is from love light.
~Terri Guillemets
Men love because they are afraid of themselves, afraid of the loneliness that lives in them, and need someone in whom they can lose themselves as smoke loses itself in the sky. ~V.F. Calverton
Lovers needn't always agree, anymore than poetry need always rhyme. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
To lovers! — the have-been's, the are-now's, and the may-be's. ~Minna Thomas Antrim, A Book of Toasts, 1902
Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too. ~Author unknown, attributed to an 8-year-old named Greg
What we seek in the end is not unconditional love but a love for which we, uniquely in all the world, meet all the conditions. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com

Ah! a blessing beyond all fate
My sole mate 'tis my soul mate.
~Pixie Foudre
I see that you believe in love such as the poets and romancers have represented... The poets represent love as the sculptors design beauty, as the musicians create melody; that is to say, endowed with an exquisite nervous organization, they gather up with discerning ardor the purest elements of life, the most beautiful lines of matter, and the most harmonious voices of nature.... To try to find in real life such love as this, eternal and absolute, is the same thing as to seek on the public squares such a woman as Venus or to expect nightingales to sing the symphonies of Beethoven. ~Alfred de Musset, The Confession of a Child of the Century/La Confession d'un enfant du siècle, 1836, Desgenais to Octave, translated from French by Kendall Warren
Love is a Mystery. You can't find it; it has to find you. ~Author Unknown
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. ~Victor Hugo
Love is the greatest refreshment in life. ~Pablo Picasso
Your fortune is misfortune if it is not Love. ~Silent Lotus
Sometimes a couple stays together for the sake of the kids — two kids who pledged to be forever true. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
My heart was glass, daily shattered
Your love the glue, repairing the tattered.
~Jaesse Tyler
I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, 1945
Love means nothing in tennis, but it's everything in life. ~Author Unknown
Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends. ~Author Unknown
You see, I'd never stopped to wonder why it was that millions of boys all over creation weren't seeing her and instantly falling in love with her, worshipping her body and mind and soul and spirit as I did. It never occurred to me until this precise moment that maybe lots of boys wouldn't have thought she was gorgeous. Maybe she only seemed so gorgeous to me because — and this is the shocker — her face came alive when I walked in front of it. ~Author Unknown (I got this from Sassy magazine years ago but then lost the magazine — anyone know the attribution?)
I'm so in love, every time I look at you my soul gets dizzy. ~Jaesse Tyler
Before you love, learn to run through the snow leaving no footprint. ~Turkish Proverb
Friendship, as some sage poet sings,
Is chasten'd Love, depriv'd of wings,
Without all wish or power to wander;
Less volatile, but not less tender:
Yet says the proverb—"Sly and slow
"Love creeps, even where he cannot go;"
To clip his pinions then is vain,
His old propensities remain;
And she, who years beyond fifteen,
Has counted twenty, may have seen
How rarely unplum'd Love will stay;
He flies not—but he coolly walks away.
~Charlotte Turner Smith (1749-1806), "On the Aphorism, 'L'Amitié est l' Amour sans ailes.'"
What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. ~Pearl Bailey
Love is how you earn your wings. ~Karen Goldman
Love is when you can be your true self with someone, and you only want to be your true self because of them. ~Terri Guillemets
It is really one moment of looking love dead in the eye that takes us everywhere in a flash. ~Swami Chetanananda
Once a man has won a woman's love, the love is his forever. He can only lose the woman. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Love, love, love — all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures. ~Germaine Greer
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. ~W. Somerset Maugham
We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love. ~Robert Fulghum, True Love
I saw them kissing in the shade
and knew the sum of all my lore:
God gave them Youth, God gave them Love,
and even God can give no more.
~Frederic Ridgely Torrence, The House of a Hundred Lights: A Psalm of Experience After Reading a Couplet of Bidpai, 1899
Before you pledge your undying love to someone, make them promise they won't die. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination. ~Voltaire
In a deep moment of love, thinking stops. The moment is so intriguing, the moment is so tremendously powerful, the moment is so intensely alive, that thinking stops. You are simply in awe, a great wonder surrounds you. ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. ~William Shakespeare
There's no denying that the only real unhappiness in life is losing a man.... Death isn't nature's greatest mistake — falling in love is. If we didn't do that, all the misery in life would be cut right out of it. Oh my goodness, so would all the fun. So, what are you gonna do about it. ~When Ladies Meet, 1941 movie written by Rachel Crothers, John Meehan, Leon Gordon, S.K. Lauren, and Anita Loos, spoken by the character Bridgie Drake (not sure if this is also in the 1933 movie or 1932 play — anyone know?)
While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones. ~Rabindranath Tagore
Life can be hard but if you've got somebody to love — yeah! ~Terri Guillemets
Love is why I came here in the first place. ~John Denver
Love is at first a set of delusions, which, as time goes by, are discarded like training wheels, and you love truly. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Your love has gone all through my body
like honey in water,
as a drug is mixed into spices,
as water is mingled with wine....
~Author Unknown
Oh! my friend, when you feel bursting on your lips the vow of eternal love, do not be afraid to yield, but do not confound wine with intoxication; do not think the cup divine because the draft is of celestial flavor; do not be astonished to find it broken and empty in the evening. ~Alfred de Musset, The Confession of a Child of the Century/La Confession d'un enfant du siècle, 1836, Desgenais to Octave, translated from French by Kendall Warren
Love is metaphysical gravity. ~R. Buckminster Fuller
Love is my religion — I could die for it. ~John Keats
It is not necessary to be strong in every place if in the place you are vulnerable, you are loved. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Love is the self-delusion we manufacture to justify the trouble we take to have sex. ~Dan Greenburg
Sunshine surrounds the earth as love surrounds our souls. ~Terri Guillemets
Love would never be a promise of a rose garden unless it is showered with light of faith, water of sincerity and air of passion. ~Author Unknown
Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. ~Author Unknown
