LOVE QUOTES VII

quotations about love

love quote

Running like a river trying to find the ocean
Flowers in the concrete
Climbing over fences, blooming in the shadows
Places that you can't see
Coming through the melody when the night bird sings
Love is a wild thing, yeah

KACEY MUSGRAVES

Desire doubled is love and love doubled is madness.

Among all methods by which love is brought into being, among all the agents which disseminate that blessed bane, there are few so efficacious as this gust of feverish agitation that sweeps over us from time to time. For then the die is cast, the person whose company we enjoy at that moment is the person we shall henceforward love. It is not even necessary for that person to have attracted us, up till then, more than or even as much as others. All that was needed was that our predilection should become exclusive. And that condition is fulfilled when -- in this moment of deprivation -- the quest is for the pleasures we enjoyed in his or her company is suddenly replaced by an anxious, torturing need, whose object is the person alone, an absurd, irrational need which the laws of this world make it impossible to satisfy and difficult to assuage -- the insensate, agonizing need to possess exclusively.

MARCEL PROUST

Love is as bitter as the dregs of sin,
As sweet as clover-honey in its cell;
Love is the password whereby souls get in
To Heaven--the gate that leads, sometimes, to Hell.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

"What Love Is"


Life is like a pipe, and love is the fuse.

THEOPHILUS MARZIALS

"Chelsea"


In this day and age, love is temporary and marriage is unnatural--the product of Madison Avenue advertising executives and television producers.

My love is a bird
Happily singing on my shoulder
Would you like to be the cage
A sweet cage forever?

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

JOHN DONNE

The Anagram

Tags: John Donne


But love, like wine, gives a tumultuous bliss,
Heighten'd indeed beyond all mortal pleasures;
But mingles pangs and madness in the bowl.

EDWARD YOUNG

The Revenge

Tags: Edward Young


To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

WOODY ALLEN

Pains of love be sweeter far
Than all other pleasures are.

JOHN DRYDEN

Tyrannic Love


On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in her strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself--on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life and not of mortal danger.

Absence is to love as wind is to fire: it extinguishes the little flame, it fans the big.

UMBERTO ECO

The Island of the Day Before

You need a high degree of corruption or a very big heart to love absolutely everything.

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
