LOVE QUOTES XXXV

quotations about love

Love is blind.

ENGLISH PROVERB


Love is basically for teenagers, and when it comes to real life for grown-ups, you're far better off with someone who's moderately pleased to see you when you're around, but leaves you in peace when you've got things to do.

K. J. PARKER

Evil for Evil


Love is all around you and all you have to do is claim it.

The Truth About Love

Love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive.

LOUISA MAY ALCOTT

Little Women


Love is a cognitive, willful act. Feelings have very little to do with it, particularly around three o'clock in the morning when the baby needs changing or somebody has "lost it" before getting to the bathroom to throw up.

Love is a boomerang that returns to the thrower's hand.

AUSTIN O'MALLEY

Keystones of Thought


Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all that there is in life, it seems to me. But I grant you, if you deny the VARIETY of love you deny love altogether. If you try to specialize love into one set of accepted feelings, you wound the very soul of love. Love MUST be multiform, else it is just tyranny, just death.

D. H. LAWRENCE

The Ladybird

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. His opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage".


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


Love for those too easily won does not last long.

ROMAN PROVERB


Love enters a man through his eyes, a woman through her ears.

The Red and the Black

Tags: Stendahl


Love demands that we stop asking "how can my wife/parent/sibling be better" and start asking "how can I make my wife/parent/sibling the happiest in the world?" Love demands death to self.

CHRIS STEFANICK

"Love is Easy Until It's Tested", National Catholic Register, March 19, 2016


Love cannot in its very nature be peaceful or content. It is a restlessness, an unsatisfaction. I can grant a lasting love just as I can grant a lasting unsatisfaction; but the lasting love cannot be coupled with possession, for love is pain and desire and possession is easement and fulfilment.

JACK LONDON

The Kempton-Wace Letters


Love can make any place agreeable.

ARABIAN PROVERB


Love can flourish only as long as it is free and spontaneous; it tends to be killed by the thought of duty. To say that it is your duty to love so-and-so is the surest way to cause you to hate him of her.

GUY DE MAUPASSANT

"Miss Harriet"

Tags: Guy de Maupassant


Love abounds in all things,
excels from the depths to beyond the stars,
is lovingly disposed to all things.
She has given the king on high
the kiss of peace.
