Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.

JEANETTE WINTERSON

The Stone Gods


When people fall in love they not only change themselves, but in their eyes the whole world changes. They may have been commonplace or dull before. But once in love they take on a strange brightness. And however uninteresting and dreary the world may have seemed to them, it at once becomes a fairyland.

It's a cliché, but also a deep truth (as cliché's tend to be), that you can't love another person very well if you don't love yourself.

Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

THE BEATLES

"I'm Looking Through You", Rubber Soul

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in previously unheard-of ways. The band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock.

God is Love, I dare say. But what a mischievous devil Love is.

SAMUEL BUTLER

Note Books


True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.

LA ROCHEFOUCAULD

attributed, Love: Quotes and Passages from the Heart


Love is a spiritual force, the deep aliveness that is the essence of being before we think about it.

JUDITH SEDGEMAN

Love Is Not What You Think


This may be the very nature of love, a passion as fickle as the sea, full of certainty when the object of desire is absent, yet dubious when confronted again with the lover's presence.

TOBSHA LEARNER

The Witch of Cologne


I am convinced the most unfortunate people are those who would make an art of love. It sours other effort. Of all artists, they are certainly the most wretched.

The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.

PHILIP ROTH

Love, from its awful throne of patient power
In the wise heart, from the last giddy hour
Of dread endurance, from the slippery, steep,
And narrow verge of crag-like agony, springs
And folds over the world its healing wings.

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Prometheus Unbound
