Love Is Quotes (page 73)

Anne Sexton quote: "Yesterday I did not want to be borrowed but this is the..."
Yesterday I did not want to be borrowed but this is the typewriter that sits before me and love is where yesterday is at. Anne Sexton
Take all away. I am content to know. Such love is mine-for life is all too brief. To grieve for pleasures bringing only grief; Give me but You; it is enough just so. Ruth Graham
To be shown love is to feel ourselves the object of concern: our presence is noted, our name is registered, our views are listened to, our failings are treated with indulgence and our needs are ministered to. And under such care, we flourish. Alain de Botton
Carl Reiner quote: "Lust is easy, Love is hard, Like is the most important."
Lust is easy, Love is hard, Like is the most important. Carl Reiner
In all the books love is one of the great facts that mould human life. But it is a catastrophe: it happens suddenly and overwhelmingly, and there is little to be said about it. Virginia Woolf
As love is the most noble and divine passion of the soul, so is it that to which we may justly attribute all the real satisfactions of life, and without it, man is unfinished, and unhappy. Aphra Behn
To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception; it is an eternal loss for which there is no reparation, either in time or in eternity. Soren Kierkegaard
You know what getting married is? It's agreeing to taking this person who right now is at the top of his form, full of hopes and ideas, feeling good, looking good, wildly interested in you because you're the same way, and sticking by him while he slowly disintegrates. And he does the same for you. You're his responsibility now and he's yours. If no one else will take care of him, you will. If everyone else rejects you, he won't. What do you think love is? Going to bed all the time? Jane Smiley
IAGO Can’t help it? Nonsense! What we are is up to us. Our bodies are like gardens and our willpower is like the gardener. Depending on what we plant—weeds or lettuce, or one kind of herb rather than a variety, the garden will either be barren and useless, or rich and productive. If we didn’t have rational minds to counterbalance our emotions and desires, our bodily urges would take over. We’d end up in ridiculous situations. Thankfully, we have reason to cool our raging lusts. In my opinion,... William Shakespeare
William Makepeace Thackeray quote: "Here is a minute. It may be my love is dead, but here is a..."
Here is a minute. It may be my love is dead, but here is a minute to kneel over the grave and pray by it. William Makepeace Thackeray
It is not so incomprehensible as you pretend, sweet pea. Love is the feeling we have for those we care deeply about and hold in high regard. It can be light as the hug we give a friend or heavy as the sacrifices we make for our children. It can be romantic, platonic, familial, fleeting, everlasting, conditional, unconditional, imbued with sorrow, stoked by sex, sullied by abuse, amplified by kindness, twisted by betrayal, deepened by time, darkened by difficulty, leavened by generosity,... Cheryl Strayed
Lew Wallace quote: "The happiness of love is in action; its test is what one is..."
The happiness of love is in action; its test is what one is willing to do for others. Lew Wallace
But love is what we want, not freedom. Who then is the unluckier man? The beloved, who is given his heart's desire and must for ever after fear its loss, or the free man, with his unlooked-for liberty, naked and alone between the captive armies of the earth? Salman Rushdie
You say that love is nonsense.... I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength. Henry B. Adams
Herman Hesse quote: " . . gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger..."
. . . gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force. Herman Hesse
