LOVE QUOTES LV

quotations about love

True love turns words and feelings into actions.

JOEL OSTEEN

Become a Better You


For me, love is the never-ending question. It is confusing. It is the answer, but it is also inundated with contradictions and complications.

JENNIFER LOPEZ

"Jennifer Lopez: Still Wild at Heart", Glamour


Where did love begin? What human being looked at another and saw in their face the forests and the sea? Was there a day, exhausted and weary, dragging home food, arms cut and scarred, that you saw yellow flowers and, not knowing what you did, picked them because I love you?

JEANETTE WINTERSON

It may be true that love is blind, but only for what is ugly: its sight is keen enough for what is beautiful.

IVAN PANIN

Thoughts


Love ... like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit


To me, love is a pure idea forged in flesh, awkwardly maybe, but it had to connect to somewhere, despite twists and turns of underground cable. An all-too-perfect thing. Sometimes the lines get crossed. Or you get a wrong number. But that's nobody's fault. It'll always be like that, so long as we exist in this physical form. As a matter of principle.

When you love someone, you don't have a choice.

CASSANDRA CLARE

Oh, God, I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love. I swim in the sky; I float; my body is full of flowers, flowers with fingers giving me acute, acute caresses, sparks, jewels, quivers of joy, dizziness, such dizziness. Music inside of one, drunkenness. Only closing the eyes and remembering, and the hunger, the hunger for more, more, the great hunger, the voracious hunger, and thirst.

See, chasing love does have its perks, but the best thing about chasing love? I've caught it, it feels just like home, and now I'm never letting go.

Our earthly loves are but so many silver steps leading us up to the great golden love of God.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit


Love is said to be an involuntary passion, and it is, therefore, contended that it cannot be resisted. This is true in part only, for like all things else, when nourished and supplied plentifully with ailment, it is rapid in its progress; but let these be withdrawn and it may be stifled in its birth or much stinted in its growth.
