LOVE QUOTES IV

quotations about love

love quote

'Know that Love is a careless child,
And forgets promises past;
He is blind, he is deaf when he list,
And in faith never fast.
'His desire is a dureless content,
And a trustless joy;
He is won with a world of despair,
And is lost with a toy.

Man's love is of man's life a thing apart,
'Tis woman's whole existence.

Love is divine only and difficult always. If you think it is easy you are a fool. If you think it is natural you are blind. It is a learned application without reason or motive except that it is God.

TONI MORRISON

Paradise


True love begins in heaven's bower,
Unfolds on earth a perfect flower.

Love is ... the by-product of living in a decent flat.

EVA WISEMAN

"Love is ... let me count the ways you are special", The Guardian, February 14, 2016


It's logical that everyone wants to be in love. Then, for a while, life isn't taken up with the tedium of thinking everything through, talking things through. It's nice to be able to notice small objects or small moments, to point them out and to have someone eager to pretend that there's more to them than it seems.

Love, the hidden spring of life, and soul's desire.
Celestial gold, secreted, laid by fire
In every heart, in every thing that lives,
In every thought that human impulse gives.
The coin of heaven, the treasure of the earth,
The rarest gift, and joy of largest worth.

EDWIN LEIBFREED

"Love"

Edwin Leibfreed published several books of poetry, including A Garland of Verse (1910), A Soliloquy of Life (1915), and The Man of a Thousand Loves (1932).


It isn't enough to love people because they're good to you, or because in some way or other you're going to get something by it. We have to love because we love loving.

JOHN GALSWORTHY

A Bit O' Love


You can love more than one person at a time, and I don't give a damn what the self-help books say.

RITA MAE BROWN

Full Cry


Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.

Love is limitless and gender fluid.

PRATIMA SHANTAVEERESH

"Love is limitless and gender fluid", New Indian Express, August 25, 2016


This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion

He who has loved often ... has loved never.

EDWARD BULWER-LYTTON

The Last Days of Pompeii


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


The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.
