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

Love is an open door to a possibility of a joyful dance, getting your needs met and fulfilling someone else's needs, trusting you will be safe.

TERRELL WASHINGTON

Love ain't nothing but a monster with two heads.

COLEMAN HELL

"2 Heads"


Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sweet stain
Need your love
I need your love

U2

"Hawkmoon 269", Rattle and Hum


In this day and age, love is temporary and marriage is unnatural--the product of Madison Avenue advertising executives and television producers.

I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like genius, she is ignorant of what she does.

JEANETTE WINTERSON

The Passion


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.

To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows.

Pains of love be sweeter far
Than all other pleasures are.

JOHN DRYDEN

Tyrannic Love


On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in her strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself--on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life and not of mortal danger.

My love is a bird
Happily singing on my shoulder
Would you like to be the cage
A sweet cage forever?

LOVE.--A sentiment we all entertain for ourselves, and occasionally imagine others entertain for us.

CHARLES EDWARD JERNINGHAM

The Maxims of Marmaduke


Love, which, in concert with Abstinence, established Faith, and which, along with Patience, builds up Chastity, is like the columns that sustain the four corners of a house. For it was that same Love which planted a glorious garden redolent with precious herbs and noble flowers--roses and lilies--which breathed forth a wondrous fragrance, that garden on which the true Solomon was accustomed to feast his eyes.

HILDEGARD OF BINGEN

letter to the Monk Guibert, 1176

Love, like reputation, once fled, never returns more.

APHRA BEHN

The History of the Nun

Aphra Behn (1640 - 1689) was an English playwright, poet, and novelist from the Restoration era. As one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing, she broke cultural barriers and served as a literary role model for later generations of women authors.

Love, amid the other graces of this world, is like a cathedral tower, which begins at the earth and at the first is surrounded by the other parts of the structure. But at length, rising above buttresses, wall and arch, and parapet and pinnacle, it shoots, spire-like, many a foot right into the air, so high that the huge cross on its summit glows like a spark in the morning light, and shines like a star in the evening sky, when the rest of the pile is enveloped in darkness. So love here is surrounded by the other graces, and divides the honors with them; but they will have felt the wrap of night and of darkness, when it will shine, luminous, against the sky of eternity.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Life Thoughts


Love will sacrifice more to others than friendship, but then it exacts more from them.
