Love is composed
of a single soul
inhabiting two
bodies.
- Aristotle
Being deeply
loved by someone
gives you
strength, while
loving someone
deeply gives you
courage.
- Lao Tzu
My bounty is as
boundless as the
sea,
My love as deep;
the more I give
to thee,
The more I have,
for both are
infinite.
- William
Shakespeare,
Romeo and Juliet
How do I love
thee? Let me
count the ways.
- Elizabeth
Barrett Browning
Young love is a
flame; very
pretty, often
very hot and
fierce, but
still only light
and flickering.
The love of the
older and
disciplined
heart is as
coals,
deep-burning,
unquenchable.
- Henry Ward
Beecher
Age does not
protect you from
love. But love,
to some extent,
protects you
from age.
- Anais Nin
Life has taught
us that love
does not consist
in gazing at
each other but
in looking
outward in the
same direction.
- Antoine de
Saint-Exupery
Love has no
desire but to
fulfill itself.
But if you love
and must needs
have desires,
let these be
your desires;
To melt and be
like a running
brook that sings
its melody to
the night.
To know the pain
of too much
tenderness.
To be wounded by
your own
understanding of
love;
And to bleed
willingly and
joyfully.
- Kahlil
Gibran, The
Prophet
The best and
most beautiful
things in the
world cannot be
seen or even
touched. They
must be felt
with the heart.
-Helen Keller
Love does not
dominate; it
cultivates.
- Johann
Wolfgang von
Goethe
Love makes your
soul crawl out
from its hiding
place.
- Zora Neale
Hurston
Love is life.
All, everything
that I
understand, I
understand only
because I love.
Everything is,
everything
exists, only
because I love.
- Leo Tolstoy
Love is like
quicksilver in
the hand. Leave
the fingers open
and it stays.
Clutch it, and
it darts away.
- Dorothy
Parker
I have learned
not to worry
about love; but
to honor its
coming with all
my heart.
- Alice
Walker
I love you
without knowing
how, or when, or
from where.
I love you
straightforwardly,
without
complexities or
pride;
so I love you
because I know
no other way
than this: where
I does not exist
nor you,
so close that
your hand on my
chest is my
hand,
so close that
your eyes close
as I fall
asleep.
- Pablo
Neruda, "Love
Sonnet XVII"
