Kahlil Gibran
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and
persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity
and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be
created for years or even generations.
Voltaire
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination
Rabindranath Tagore
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times,
in life after life, in age after age forever.
Aristotle
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire
sparkling in lovers' eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers'
tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall
and a preserving sweet
Albert Einstein
How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry
and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Otomo No Yakamochi
Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach
for hands that are not there.
Thomas Campbell
How delicious is the winning
of a kiss at love's beginning.
Elbert Hubbard
The love we give away is the only love we keep.
Lord Byron
Yes, Love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal
fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our
low desire
Jean La Fontaine
O tyrant love, when held by you, We may to prudence bid adieu
Alfred Lord Tennyson
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at
all.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I
am with you
Erich Fromm
Immature love says "I love you because I need you".
Mature love says "I need you because I love you"
Sophocles
One word frees us of all the weight and pains of life: that word
is love.
