Here is a list of some of my favorite quotes on love. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is Love."
Sophocles
“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”
Sam Keen, from To Love and Be Loved
"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved."
George Sand
"Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love."
Erich Fromm
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin6. "Love is the beauty of the soul."
St. Augustine
"There is no remedy for love but to love more."
Henry David Thoreau
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?
Unknown
"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control."
Unknown
"In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person."
Margaret Anderson
"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
Mark Twain
" Some people come into our lives, Leave footprints in our hearts, And we are never ever the same."
Unknown
"In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."
Janos Arnay
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
Aristotle
"Take away love, and our earth is a tomb."
Robert Browning
"I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you."
Roy Croft
"The only true gift is a portion of yourself."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."
Robert Heinlein
"Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"It's so easy, To think about Love, To Talk about Love, To wish for Love, But it's not always easy, To recognize Love, Even when we hold it.... In our hands."
Jaka
"Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition."
Alexander Smith
"To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven."
Karen Sunde
"Love is friendship set on fire."
Jeremy Taylor
"Love is a dream that comes alive when we meet."
Unknown
"The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable."
Victor Hugo
"True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."
Antoine De Saint-Exupery
"The life and love we create is the life and love we live."
Leo Buscaglia
"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."
Ivan Panin
"Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals."
J. Isham
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
Lao Tzu
"Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it."
Thomas Fuller
"Paradise is always where love dwells."
Jean Paul F. Richter
"We are all born for love... it is the principle existence and it's only end."
Benjamin Disraeli
