There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.

Victor Hugo

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

I believe love is primarily a choice and only sometimes a feeling. If you want to feel love, choose to love and be patient.

Real Live Preacher

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Bertrand Russell

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness, speak cheering words while their ears can hear, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them.

William Congreve

Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke.

Lynda Barry

We don't always get to choose what we love.

Love is a friendship set to music.

Joseph Campbell

When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love.

J. K. Rowling

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Other women cloy the appetites they feed, but she makes hungry where most she satisfies.

William Shakespeare

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.

Charles Caleb Colton

We can only learn to love by loving.

There's no love more intense than the love we have for our kids - and where there is intense love, there is also intense fear lurking beneath the surface.

Sonnet 132: Thine eyes I love, and they, as pitying me

Thine eyes I love, and they, as pitying me,
Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain,
Have put on black, and loving mourners be,
Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
And truly not the morning sun of heaven
Better becomes the grey cheeks of the east,
Nor that full star that ushers in the even
Doth half that glory to the sober west
As those two mourning eyes become thy face.
O, let it then as well beseem thy heart
To mourn for me since mourning doth thee grace,
And suit thy pity like in every part.
Then will I swear beauty herself is black,
And all they foul that thy complexion lack.

William Shakespeare

Fall not in love, therefore; it will stick to your face.

National Lampoon

To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.

Karen Sunde

The important thing was to love rather than to be loved.

W. Somerset Maugham

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Jeanne Moreau

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Henry David Thoreau

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.

Bette Davis

Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love, though I'd stepped in it a few times.

Rita Rudner

I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of.

Jane Austen

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

Alan Watts

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
