Lao Tzu
I think it's all a matter of love: The more you love a memory, the stronger and stronger it is.
Vladimir Nabokev "Strong Opinions"
I love you without knowing how, 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 you hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Pablo Nerbruda
When I saw you, I thought, "Now here is a man I could love." And I was no longer afraid of feelings.
Anias Nin

Anias Nin
Through Love, through friendship, a heart lives more than one life.
Anais Nin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies because of blinding errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, and tarnishing.
Anais Nin
My mouth is full of secrets, I'm too afraid to tell. My body's full of longing for you to know me well.

Remember that you don't choose to love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reachout and give it away.
Kent Nurburn
In love there are two things: bodies and words.
Joyce Carol Oates
Love comes when we take the time to understand and care for another person.
Janet Oke
But nothing is said of the closeness between two people: how they grew in the shade of each other's presence. No one speaks of that exchange of gift and character -- the way a person took on and recognized in himself the smile of a lover.
Michael Ondaatje "Running in the Family"
We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
Pascal
Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

David Platt
You do something to me. Something that simply mystifies me.
Cole Porter
The commitment of love, at whatever level, has to be a permanent thing, a life wager. If I say that I am your friend, I will always be there for you. Effective love is not like the retractable point on a ball-point pen.
John Powell
As you wish.
"Princess Bride"
Because holding The One Who Fits in your arms simply feels this good, and nothing else really does.

Love and magic have two things in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart, and they both take practice.

Love is not a union merely between two creatures -- it is a union between two spirits.
Frederick W. Robertson
The giving of love is an education in itself.
Elanor Roosevelt
Love is the passionate dance between two hearts. It is to believe in the dream, and together, make it real.
Sylvania Rossetti
Falling in love consists merely of uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.
Helen Rowland
Love is an attachment to another self. Humor is a form of self-detachment - a way of looking at one's existence, one's misfortune, or one's dicomfort. If you really love, if you really know how to laugh, the result is the same; you forget yourself.
Claude Roy
This is love: to fly towards a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each momnet. First, to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
J. Rumi
To fear love is to fear life.
Bertrand Russell
Every little girl knows about love. It's only her capacity to suffer because of it that increases.
Francoise Sagan
Love opens the doors into everything, as far as I can see, including and perhaps most of all, the door into one's own secret, and often terrible and frightening, real self.
May Sarton
If I can let you go as trees let go
. . . Lose what I lose to keep what I can keep,
the strong root still alive under the snow,
Love will endure - if I can let you go.
May Sarton
True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.
Erich Segal
Soul meets soul on lover's lips.
Percy Bysshe Shelly
Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
The better you feel about yourself, the fewer limits you will plae on your ability to love.
Judith Sills
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
Alexander Smith
Love can be understood only "from the inside," as a language can only be understood by someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only by someone who lives in it.

Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.

To fall in love, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human lonliness is cause enough. But it's a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady prescence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.
A. L. Streng
Love from one to another can only be that two solitudes come nearer, recognize and protect and comfort each other.
Han Suyin
Love is more like a flower than a tree; the wrong things can hurt it so easily. But the right things can make it more beautiful than anything else your life has ever known.
B. Taylor
Staying angry with you is how I protect myself from you. Refusing to forgive you is not only how I punish you: it is also to keep you from getting close enough to hurt me agian, and nine times out of ten it works - only there is a serious side effect. It is called betterness, and it can do terrible things to the human body and soul.
Barbara Brown Taylor
