Quotes about love

Love is when you miss him even before he's gone,

When you could listen to him talk all night

And never get tired of hearing his voice,

When the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,

And when you see his smile the second you close your eyes!

~ Adriene Auckerman ~

love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by the removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages.It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.

~ Ambrose Bierce ~

Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.” ~Louis de Bernieres

We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love: first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

~ Albert Camus ~

A great love is a lot like a good memory. When it's there, and you know it's there, but it's just outta your reach, it can be all that you think about.And you can focus on it and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient, and you hold still, well maybe, just maybe, it'll come to you.

~ Leonard Church ~

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion.

Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.

~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~

I love you not only for what you are, 

but for what I am when I am with you.

I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, 

but for what you are making of me.

I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

~ Roy Croft ~

If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.

~ Robertson Davies ~

You can't be wise and in love at the same time.

~ Bob Dylan ~

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery ~

Love is not needing a snooze button on your alarm clock, because when it goes off the first time in the morning the thoughts of your loved one make it impossible to fall back asleep.

~ Natasha Harris ~

It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.

~ Augustine of Hippo ~

The sweet, rustic smell of the rain,

Fills my nose, my head, and my brain.

The springtime showers soak my dress,

and toes tingle with a grassy caress.

The beauty of this day is lost to me,

As the deaf man hears not the melody.

For all Nature's wonders seem so dim,

When I am here, standing next to him.

~ Valerie Dawn Keller ~

The word forever seems like a long time, but if you're with the person you love then forever isn't long enough.

~ Daniel Martinez ~

Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less.

~ Will Moss ~

Love is strong , yet delicate ; It can be broken.

To truly love is to understand this. To be in love is to respect this.

~ Stephen Packer ~
