Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.<\/span>

‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.<\/span>
\nMiguel De Cervantes<\/span><\/p>\n

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.<\/span>

Love is a tyrant sparing none.<\/span>
\nPierre Corneille<\/span><\/p>\n

Madame, it is an old word and each one takes it new and wears it out himself. It is a word that fills with meaning as a bladder with air and the meaning goes out of it as quickly. It may be punctured as a bladder is punctured and patched and blown up again and if you have not had it, it does not exist for you. All people talk of it, but those who have had it are marked by it, and I would not wish to speak of it further since of all things it is the most ridiculous to talk of and only fools go through it many times.<\/span>

I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.<\/span>
\nRobert Green Ingersoll<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is the only bow of life’s dark cloud. It is the Morning and Evening Star. It shines upon the cradle of the babe, and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb. It is the Mother of Art, inspirer of poet, patriot, and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart, builder of every home, kinder of every fire on every hearth, It was the first dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings of common clay.<\/span>
\nRobert Green Ingersoll<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is the only bow on life’s dark cloud.<\/span>

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.<\/span>
\nSamuel Johnson<\/span><\/p>\n

Self-love is often rather arrogant than blind; it does not hide our faults from ourselves, but persuades us that they escape the notice of others.<\/span>
\nSamuel Johnson<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.<\/span>
\nErica Jong<\/span><\/p>\n

Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.<\/span>
\nJames Joyce<\/span><\/p>\n

Where love rules, there is no will to power; where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.<\/span>
\nCarl Jung<\/span><\/p>\n

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of a giver.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

How sweet it is to love, and to be dissolved, and as it were to bathe myself in thy love.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength…. It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

Love makes everything that is heavy light.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever loves much, does much.<\/span>
\nThomas a Kempis<\/span><\/p>\n

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.<\/span>
\nKahlil Kibran<\/span><\/p>\n

Be that self which one truly is.<\/span>
\nSoren Kierkegaard<\/span><\/p>\n

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.<\/span>
\nMartin Luther King Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.<\/span>
\nMartin Luther King Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n
