love quotes

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. 

Aristotle 

Love is the poetry of the senses. 

Honore de Balzac

The best proof of love is trust. 

Joyce Brothers

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life. 

Joseph Conrad 

Love is metaphysical gravity. 

R. Buckminster Fuller 

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. 

Judy Garland 

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.

Boethius

What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?
Friedrich Nietzsche

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Richard Bach

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Love is having roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from our branches we find that we are one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin


En al had ik een baan waarin ik de liefde moest weggooien of mijn liefde weggegooid werd dan nog zou de liefde vanzelf terugkeren als ze bij mij hoorde.
