Love never goes away; it just changes form.

PAMELA ANDERSON

Strange
indeed how love in other
ways so particular
will pick a corner
in that charnel-house
tidy it and coil up there, perhaps
even fall asleep--her face
turned to the wall!

CHINUA ACHEBE

Attento, Soul Brother!

Tags: Chinua Achebe


Absence is to love as wind is to fire: it extinguishes the little flame, it fans the big.

UMBERTO ECO

The Island of the Day Before

Tags: Umberto Eco


Desire doubled is love and love doubled is madness.

ANNE CARSON

The Beauty of the Husband

Love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.

HERMANN HESSE

Tags: Hermann Hesse


When love is reached through suffering ... it has a power it can never gain through innocence.

ANNE RICE

As the gambler said of his dice, to love and win is the best thing, to love and lose is the next best.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERY

Pendennis


At night the grackle Love will start
To shriek and shrill,
Nor will he once be still
Till he has wide awake the backward heart.
So selfish Love,
Go hush;
Feathers and claws take off
Or seek some bush.

ELIZABETH BISHOP

"Three Valentines"

But now I know that there is no killing
A thing like Love, for it laughs at Death.
There is no hushing, there is no stilling
That which is part of your life and breath.
You may bury it deep, and leave behind you
The land, the people that knew your slain;
It will push the sods from its grave, and find you
On wastes of water or desert plain.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

"From the Grave"


Deep Love is slow of speech and void of art;
Silence and timid tears reveal his heart.
But shallow Love is ever eloquent
To mouth his meagre passion -- and depart.

ELSA BARKER

"The Garden of Rose and Rue"

Every little thing wants to be loved.

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and border and salute each other.

RAINER MARIA RILKE

Letters to a Young Poet

Tags: Rainer Maria Rilke


Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

JAMES BALDWIN

"In Search of a Majority"

Tags: James Baldwin


Love does nothing but make you weak! It turns you into an object of pity and derision--a mewling pathetic creature no more fit to live than a worm squirming on the pavement after a hard summer rain.

TERESA MEDEIROS

The Vampire Who Loved Me

Tags: Teresa Medeiros


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

"To Love is to Trust", The Good Men Project, August 18, 2016


Love is eternal as long as it lasts.

VINICIUS DE MORAIS

attributed, The New York Times Biographical Service, 1991


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--that divine fire which was made to light and warm the temple of home--sometimes burns at unholy altars.

HORACE MANN

Thoughts

Tags: Horace Mann


We all crave love. Its universal language unites us as humans. Yet, it also slays us. If you gave people a choice between heartbreak and the Zika virus, we'd all be feverish in bed. Love's pain spreads across our flesh faster than any plague. As soon as you think you're cured, you relapse.
