love quote

Love is in that extra hour of sleep you didn't even realize he gave you until you woke up feeling that little bit more human.

RASHA RUSHDY

Love gives impetus and fruitfulness to life and to the journey of faith: without love, both life and faith remain sterile.

POPE FRANCIS

Vatican Radio, October 29, 2017


I suppose it may be God's way of telling us to love people while they're here, because tomorrow they may be gone. I guess that's a pretty sorry answer, but I'm afraid it's the only one I've got.

ELSA BARKER

"The Garden of Rose and Rue", The Book of Love

Tags: Elsa Barker


Though she had been besieged, courted, and pursued by men who had fallen in love with her, she did not in her heart believe in the existence of love. It seemed to her as unreal as the painted drop scenes, the temples of love, and the banks of roses that formed the settings for her dances. But though she was cold and insensitive to love, she was esteemed a wonderful mistress. She herself practiced love as a duty imposed by her profession, a part to be played that might sometimes please but always fatigued her and called for a high degree of art.

JOHN MILTON

Paradise Lost

Tags: John Milton


Not the swart Pariah in some Indian grove,
Lone, lean, and hunted by his brother's hate,
Hath drunk so deep the cup of bitter fate
As that poor wretch who cannot, cannot love:
He bears a load which nothing can remove,
A killing, withering weight.
