This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected–in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.
* Thomas Mann

We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.
* W. Somerset Maugham

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
* Thomas Moore

* P. J. O’Rourke

Love is a driver, bitter and fierce if you fight and resist him,
Easy-going enough once you acknowledge his power.

* Blaise Pascal

Love, free as air at sight of human ties,
Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
* Alexander Pope

Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass.
* French Proverb

* Bertrand Russell

Love is a spirit of all compact of fire.
* William Shakespeare

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
* William Shakespeare

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
* William Shakespeare

The course of true love never did run smooth.

They do not love that do not show their love.
* William Shakespeare

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
* Madame De Staël

‘Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
* Lord Tennyson

There is no remedy for love but to love more.
* Henry David Thoreau

If so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love.
* Leo Tolstoy

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
* Voltaire

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.
* Marianne Williamson
