We can love with our minds, but can we love only with our minds? Love extends itself all the time, so that we can love even with our senseless nails: we love even with our clothes, so that a sleeve can feel a sleeve.

I really thought that love would save us all.

Old love, middle love, the kind of love that knows itself and knows that nothing lasts, is a desperate shared wildness.

LOUISE ERDRICH

The Plague of Doves

Tags: Louise Erdrich


Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black. We can't tell if it will survive us. But we can be sure that it's the last thing to go.

It is love that I am seeking for,
But of a beautiful, unheard-of kind
That is not in the world.

Love creates, love cements, love enters and harmonizes all things.

EDWARD BULWER-LYTTON

The Wit and Wisdom of E. Bulwer-Lytton


Love is a farthing piece, a bloody bribe pressed in the palm of God and thrown away.

Love is harsh, and it consumes. And more than anything, it demands sacrifice.

TIM LEBBON

Unnatural Selection

Yes, life is but a waste,
A cheerless pathway, where
No healthy fruit allures the taste,
No flowerets balm the air,
If Love, the wild rose, ne'er luxuriates there.

"Love"

Tags: William B. Tappan


I think love adds to everything. I'm an old softie about that. I think love is the most important thing in life. If you don't have [a relationship], you're always looking for one. It's the motivator, the driver.

SHERYL CROW

Oh, God, I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love. I swim in the sky; I float; my body is full of flowers, flowers with fingers giving me acute, acute caresses, sparks, jewels, quivers of joy, dizziness, such dizziness. Music inside of one, drunkenness. Only closing the eyes and remembering, and the hunger, the hunger for more, more, the great hunger, the voracious hunger, and thirst.

MOTHER TERESA

A Gift for God

Tags: Mother Teresa


A pair of bright eyes with a dozen glances suffice to subdue a man; to enslave him, and enflame him; to make him even forget; they dazzle him so that the past becomes straightway dim to him; and he so prizes them that he would give all his life to possess 'em.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY

It's love that makes the world go round!

Love is a word from the old poems you read. In real life there is no love. Men come together like apes and birds. It is sweet sometimes to play with a woman, but the wind blows and there is an end of it.
