LOVE QUOTES XXXV

quotations about love

Wail not too wildly for expiring Love:
The Love that dies was never quite alive.

RICHARD GARNETT

De Flagello Myrtes


For what is love itself, for the one we love best? An enfolding of immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love.

GEORGE ELIOT

A summer romance is something special, because it blazes like a comet across the sky and then fades out. The thing that makes it special--that makes everything move so fast--is that a summer romance is doomed to end.

Nor the withered tree.

Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king.

EMMA GOLDMAN

"Marriage and Love", Anarchism and Other Essays


That adoration which a young man gives to a woman whom he feels to be greater and better than himself, is hardly distinguishable from religious feeling. What deep and worthy love is so? whether of woman or child, or art or music. Our caresses, our tender words, our still rapture under the influence of autumn sunsets, or pillared vistas, or calm majestic statues, or Beethoven symphonies, all bring with them the consciousness that they are mere waves and ripples in an unfathomable ocean of love and beauty; our emotion in its keenest moment passes from expression into silence, our love at its highest flood rushes beyond its object, and loses itself in the sense of divine mystery.

GEORGE ELIOT

Adam Bede


Pure Christian love is not derived from the merit of the object.

MARTIN LUTHER

Sermon XI, A Selection of the Most Celebrated Sermons of M. Luther and J. Calvin


Why the pull of sexual attraction to someone who is unfamiliar, whose allure as Horace marked, portends a war with one's self? As we'll consider, the object of sexual desire has a different constitution from the focus of personal love. With sexual love, there is an emphasis upon touch and kinesthesia that alters the whole/part structure of objects. It brings with it a shift in temporality as well as makes the pleasure of repetitive sexual scenarios curiously new and unique.

Sex alleviates tension. Love causes it.

WOODY ALLEN

A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy


The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.

Love abounds in all things,
excels from the depths to beyond the stars,
is lovingly disposed to all things.
She has given the king on high
the kiss of peace.

HILDEGARD OF BINGEN

Caressing reassures lovers that their love endures.

When love is in the dancer!
