Love is the kiss
in the quiet nest
while the leaves are trembling,
mirrored in the water.

Love seems to survive life, and to reach beyond it. I think we take it with us past the grave. Do we not still give it to those who have left us? May we not hope that they feel it for us, and that we shall leave it here in one or two fond bosoms, when we also are gone?

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY

The Virginians


Near even a candle, the visible heat.
So it is with a person in love.

JANE HIRSHFIELD

"The Visible Heat"


To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows.

IVAN PANIN

Thoughts


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.

I measured love by the extent of my jealousy.

I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like genius, she is ignorant of what she does.

JEANETTE WINTERSON

The Passion


If I'm meant to love people, I should love everyone.
What kind of tide can an ocean bestow
if it picks and chooses the rocks it's willing to touch?

Love, how many roads to reach a kiss.

PABLO NERUDA

"Love, How many Roads to Reach a Kiss"

Tags: Pablo Neruda


Strange
indeed how love in other
ways so particular
will pick a corner
in that charnel-house
tidy it and coil up there, perhaps
even fall asleep--her face
turned to the wall!
