I M In Love Quotes

I M In Love Quotes Biography

Where did love begin? What human being looked at another and saw in their face the forests and the sea? Was there a day, exhausted and weary, dragging home food, arms cut and scarred, that you saw yellow flowers and, not knowing what you did, picked them because I love you?

JEANETTE WINTERSON, Lighthousekeeping

Love makes its record in deeper colors as we grow out of childhood into manhood; as the Emperors signed their names in green ink when under age, but when of age, in purple.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW, Table-Talk

Not the swart Pariah in some Indian grove,

Lone, lean, and hunted by his brother’s hate,

Hath drunk so deep the cup of bitter fate

As that poor wretch who cannot, cannot love:

He bears a load which nothing can remove,

A killing, withering weight.

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY, "The Solitary"

One of the remarkable things about love is that, despite very irritating people writing poems and songs about how pleasant it is, it really is quite pleasant.

DANIEL HANDLER (as Lemony Snicket), Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

Upon Love's bosom Earth floats like an Ark

Safely through all the Deluge of the dark.

GERALD MASSEY, "To My Wife"

Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.

APHRA BEHN, The Younger Brother

If a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest.

PLATO, The Republic

Why does a man who is truly in love insist that this relationship must continue and be "lifelong"? Because life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic. Who would want to wake up halfway through an operation?

CESARE PAVESE, This Business of Living, Jan. 19, 1938

Love is no hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. A wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always wild!

JOHN GALSWORTHY, The Forsyte Saga

Love is made out of ecstasy and wonder;

Love is a poignant and accustomed pain.

It is a burst of Heaven-shaking thunder;

It is a linnet's fluting after rain.

JOYCE KILMER, "In Memory"

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.
