Young Love Quotes

Young Love Quotes Biography
A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfill that. That is not loving; it is destroying.

THICH NHAT HANH, Teachings on Love

Yes, life is but a waste,
A cheerless pathway, where
No healthy fruit allures the taste,
No flowerets balm the air,
If Love, the wild rose, ne'er luxuriates there.
WILLIAM B. TAPPAN, "Love"

Love's tendrils round the heart doth twine,
As round the oak doth cling the vine.

CHARLES WILLIAM DAY, The Maxims, Experiences, and Observations of Agogos

If the thing loved is base, the lover becomes base.

LEONARDO DA VINCI, Thoughts on Art and Life

Love is the key-note of the universe--
The theme, the melody.
HENRY ABBEY, "The Troubadour"

If there is no love more in yonder heart, it is but a corpse unburied.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY, Newcomes

Tell not thy previous loves to a woman, lest she also telleth thee hers.

GELETT BURGESS, The Maxims of Methuselah

Love, in this world, is like a seed taken from the tropics, and planted where the winter comes too soon; and it cannot spread itself in flower-clusters and wide-twining vines, so that the whole air is filled with the perfume thereof. But there is to be another summer for it yet. Care for the root now, and God will care for the top by and by.

HENRY WARD BEECHER, Life Thoughts

Love is a spy who is plotting treason,
In league with that warm, red rebel, the Heart.

MARGARET ATWOOD, The Year of the Flood

Heav'nly love shall outdo Hellish hate.

JOHN MILTON, Paradise Lost

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?
