Nature is at work.. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.
~ David Seabury The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.
~ George Bernard Shaw There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
~ George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman (1903) act 1 If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.
~ Francis Quarles Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.
~ Comte DeBussy-Rabutin A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and money, but even ... without any hope of doing it well.
~ Oliver Herford One advantage of marriage, it seems to me, is that when you fall out of love with him, or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you maybe fall in love again.
~ Judith Viorst I can understand companionship. I can understand bought sex in the afternoon. I cannot understand the love affair.
~ Gore Vidal Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense.
~ Helen Rowland A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
~ Sir Thomas More To fall in love you have to be in the state of mind for it to take, like a disease.
~ Nancy Mitford What children take from us, they give?We become people who feel more deeply, question more deeply, hurt more deeply, and love more deeply.
~ Sonia Taitz, O Magazine, May 2003
