Love called, and I could not linger,
But sought the forbidden tryst,
As music follows the finger
Of the dreaming lutanist.

POPE FRANCIS

Vatican Radio, October 29, 2017


I sought for love on the highway,
For love unselfish and pure,
And found it in good deeds blooming,
Tho' often in haunts obscure.

Singing oh no no
Let it go
Love can take your heart
Throw it out of control
Saying oh no no
Let it go
My love yeah she's a hurricane
I pray through the storm

To me, it's pretty simple--love is way too precious to sanction.

SAMUEL JOHNSON

"Samuel Johnson on SSM", 9Honey, November 14, 2017


The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.

What is commonly called "falling in love" is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.

ECKHART TOLLE

A New Earth


Pure Christian love is not derived from the merit of the object.

MARTIN LUTHER

Sermon XI, A Selection of the Most Celebrated Sermons of M. Luther and J. Calvin


We look at the one little woman's face we love, as we look at the face of our mother earth, and see all sorts of answers to our own yearnings.

GEORGE ELIOT

Adam Bede


Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met -- or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

ROBERT BURNS

Ae Fond Kiss

Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king.

No wound is worse than counterfeited love.

Love is meant to be put into right use full ness. Love is an action. It is an experience. Love is what love does.

MELANIE LUTZ

"Love is Meant to be put Into Right Use Full Ness", BeliefNet, November 2, 2017


And you tempt me into your House of Love--
I, who have come from far
Through wintry forest and homeless heath,
Friend of the wind and star?
Ah, I fear the warmth of the ingleside
And the depths of your dear caress
Will make me forget what I learned out there
In the stubble and loneliness!
