Running like a river trying to find the ocean
Flowers in the concrete
Climbing over fences, blooming in the shadows
Places that you can't see
Coming through the melody when the night bird sings
Love is a wild thing, yeah

KACEY MUSGRAVES

"Love Is a Wild Thing"


[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.

Love isn't something we can just turn off like a well-oiled faucet. It drips, keeping us up at night.

HEIDI K. ISERN

"The responsibility to fall out of love is on you", Quartz, August 5, 2016


No distance can keep anxious lovers long asunder.

Giving and receiving love is vital to human existence. It is the glue that binds couples, families, communities, cultures, and nations.

FRANK LAWLIS

Mending the Broken Bond


Sometimes it seems ... as though only intelligent people are stupid enough to fall in love & only stupid people are intelligent enough to let themselves be loved.

Love is eternal as long as it lasts.

VINICIUS DE MORAIS

attributed, The New York Times Biographical Service, 1991


Life is like a pipe, and love is the fuse.

Without warning
as a whirlwind
swoops on an oak
Love shakes my heart

SAPPHO

Without Warning

Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) was a Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Although most of her poetry is now lost, she was regarded in ancient times as one of the greatest lyric poets and given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet."


Surely, love is both work and wages.

If you love someone, when it's the most real, the most important thing in your life, it's not enough to coast. You need to dig in those footers, start building on that base. You want something to last, you put your back into it.

It's easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net.

LUCRETIUS

De Rerum Natura

Tags: Lucretius


Among the blessings of love there is hardly one more exquisite than the sense that in uniting the beloved life to ours we can watch over its happiness, bring comfort where hardship was, and over memories of privation and suffering open the sweetest fountains of joy.

The world has little to bestow
Where two fond hearts in equal love are joined.

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

Love holds everything together with a girdle of barbed wire encased in a sheath of pink cotton wool.

TIM LOTT

"Love is ... a torment and a joy. And it's not for softies", The Guardian, July 22, 2016

Tim Lott (born 23 January 1956) is a novelist, travel journalist, and an occasional op-ed writer for the Independent on Sunday.


When a man falls in love suddenly his whole centre changes. Up to that point he has probably referred everything to himself--considered things from his own point. When he falls in love the whole thing is shifted; he becomes a part of the circumference--perhaps even the whole circumference; someone else becomes the centre.
