I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night. ~Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes
Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. ~Kahlil Gibran
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. ~Mark Overby
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. ~Peter Ustinov
Hate leaves ugly scars, love leaves beautiful
ones. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that. ~Michael Leunig
Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. ~Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy, A.D. 524
My debt to you, Belovèd,
Is one I cannot pay
In any coin of any realm
On any reckoning day.
~Jessie B. Rittenhouse
The hours I spend with you I look upon as
sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight,
and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it
is said have seen angels, but I have seen
thee and thou art enough. ~George Moore
A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
~Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music,
"You Are Sixteen (Reprise)"
Love is no respecter of age or practicality
Neither morality: unabashed
She enters where she will
Unheeding that her immortal fires
Burn up human hearts...
~Phillip Pulfrey, from Beyond Me.
Those who are faithful know only the trivial
side of love; it is the faithless who know love's tragedies. ~Oscar Wilde, The Picture of
Dorian Gray, 1891
The ultimate test of a relationship is to
disagree but to hold hands. ~Quoted by
Alexandra Penney in Self
Love doesn't sit there like a stone, it has to
be made, like bread; remade all of the time,
made new. ~Ursula K. Le Guin
Love never reasons but profusely gives; gives,
like a thoughtless prodigal, its all, and
trembles lest it has done too little. ~
Hannah More (Thanks, Steven)
Love me and the world is mine. ~David Reed
It would be impossible to "love" anyone or anything one knew completely. Love is
directed towards what lies hidden in its object. ~Paul Valéry, Tel quel, 1943
Whatever our souls are made of, his and
mine are the same. ~Emily Brontë
Will you love me in December as you
do in May,
Will you love me in the good old
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in December as
you do in May?
~James J. Walker
