I love you pretty baby
You're the only love I've ever known
Just as long as you stay with me
The whole world is my throne
Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' we can call our own

Till they cloud the soul in the smoke of a windy fire.

Upon the roadway of my life,
A guide-board I will leave of love,
So those who follow in my steps
May guided be to hills above.

Love's Labour's Lost

I felt I had stepped into something big and splendid, as if I had been a caterpillar walking into the heart of a red rose. I felt prim and small and petty. Until then I had never known what love meant.

WILLIAM JOHN LOCKE

Simon the Jester


Love can make people do funny things, inexplicable things. And thwarted love can turn some people into madmen--or madwomen. People who never had much of a grip on reality, sometimes they spin pretty illusions ... and when the illusion shatters, they become capable of anything.

That word is love.

Love is something we all talk about but rarely experience. We get sucked into settling, to waiting, to a wilting dating culture, to hatred and to meaningless rendezvous or "ghosting." Love is dying, and we're all forgetting about it.

ROMAN PROVERB


Wail not too wildly for expiring Love:
The Love that dies was never quite alive.

RICHARD GARNETT

De Flagello Myrtes


Love is in the realization that actually, you're just as excited as your toddler to see him walk through that door at the end of each day. And not just because it means now there are more adults on duty to tackle the troops, but because your person is here and he makes you happy.

RASHA RUSHDY

"Love Is Sweatpants and Take-out, Actually", Huffington Post, February 14, 2016


Love on his errand bound to go
Can swim the flood and wade through snow,
Where way is none, 't will creep and wind
And eat through Alps its home to find.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON
