LOVE QUOTES XLVII

quotations about love

It is love that I am seeking for,
But of a beautiful, unheard-of kind
That is not in the world.

Sure, love vincit omnia; is immeasurably above all ambition, more precious than wealth, more noble than name. He knows not life who knows not that: he hath not felt the highest faculty of the soul who hath not enjoyed it.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY

Ah! let us love, my Love, for Time is heartless,
Be happy while you may!

There are moments of passion and joy, but most of this love is enduring the long stretches of dealing with not-so-thrilling stuff because one has to do so and no one else will. Moreover, one cannot imagine doing otherwise. If that sounds like your marriage, congratulations.

I've heard it called a Cinderella story, I've heard it called magic. But it's not magic, it's love. And when love is true from the heart, nothing magic about it.

The act of love strongly resembles torture or surgery.

Love's a dog in a manger.

D. H. LAWRENCE

Sons and Lovers

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. His opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage".


Those that go searching for love
only make manifest their own lovelessness,
and the loveless never find love,
only the loving find love,
and they never have to seek for it.

D. H. LAWRENCE

The world gets grimy and the love object is in stark relief from it's surroundings. This is love, a pretty thing on an ugly street.

EDWARD BULWER-LYTTON

The Wit and Wisdom of E. Bulwer-Lytton
