NORA ROBERTS

Unable to do away with love, the Church found a way to decontaminate it by creating marriage.

Those that go searching for love
only make manifest their own lovelessness,
and the loveless never find love,
only the loving find love,

"Search for Love"
David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. His opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage".

When does love cease? When one begins to love anew.
LAURA ESQUIVEL
The Law of Love
The sweetness of human love is to be compared, therefore, to the sweetness of a flower, whose glowing colors and voluptuous fragrance are intended by Nature to attract the winged insects, whose visits are necessary for the fertilization of the seed. The color fades, the flower falls, the perfume vanishes, death soon follows after; but Nature is not mocked.

Ah, when love dies, women lose two and a half inches in height.
