I love my friends; and I love them to such an extent that I would not for a moment weigh my interest against theirs. I condescend to them, I patiently endure their bad temper. But, also, I do not make much of their caresses, and I do not feel great uneasiness in their absence.

In love the deceit generally outstrips the distrust.

In order to punish man for his original sin, God has made him so fond of his self-love that he is tormented by it in all the actions of his life.

It is far better to be deceived than undeceived by those whom we tenderly love.

Jealousy is not love, but self-love.

Love is the smallest part of gallantry.

Most frequently we make confidants from vanity, a love of talking, a wish to win the confidence of others, and to make an exchange of secrets.

No disguise can long conceal love where it is, nor feign it where it is not.

Nothing is so capable of diminishing self-love as the observation that we disapprove at one time what we approve at another.

Novelty is to love like bloom to fruit; it gives a luster which is easily effaced, but never returns.

Prudence and love are inconsistent; in proportion as the last increases, the other decreases.

Self-love, as it happens to be well or ill conducted, constitutes virtue and vice.

Self-love increases or diminishes for us the good qualities of our friends, in proportion to the satisfaction we feel with them; and we judge of their merit by the manner in which they act towards us.

Self love is more cunning than the most cunning man in the world.

Self-love is the greatest of flatterers.

The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry.

The love of glory, the fear of shame, the design of making a fortune, the desire of rendering life easy and agreeable, and the humor of pulling down other people, are often the causes of that valor so celebrated among men.

The pleasure of love is in loving. We are happier in the passion we feel than in that we inspire.

There are several remedies which will cure love, but there are no infallible ones.

There are two kinds of constancy in love, one arising from incessantly finding in the loved one fresh objects to love, the other from regarding it as a point of honor to be constant.

The secret of pleasing in conversation is not to explain too much everything; to say them half and leave a little for divination is a mark of the good opinion we have of others, and nothing flatters their self-love more.

We always love those who admire us, and we do not always love those whom we admire.

We love everything on our own account; we even follow our own taste and inclination when we prefer our friends to ourselves; and yet it is this preference alone that constitutes true and perfect friendship.

We pardon as long as we love.

What is commonly called friendship is no more than a partnership; a reciprocal regard for one another’s interests, and an exchange of good offices; in a word, a mere traffic, wherein self-love always proposes to be a gainer.

Whatever discoveries we may have made in the regions of self-love, there still remain many unknown lands.

Is she not more than painting can express,
Or youthful poets fancy when they love?

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

Love is an attachment to another self. Humor is a form of self-detachment -- a way of looking at one's existence, one's misfortune, or one's discomfort. If you really love, if you really know how to laugh, the result is the same: you forget yourself.

I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

We love those who hate our enemies, and if we had no enemies there would be very few people whom we should love.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

I must before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet -- a thing that is not love or hate or pity or scorn, but the very breath of life, fierce and coming from far away, bringing into human life the vastness and fearful passionless force of non-human things...

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe -- because, like Spinoza's God, it won't love us in return.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

Civilized people cannot fully satisfy their sexual instinct without love.

Love is a little haven of refuge from the world.

All sorrows are sisters; a secret intelligence establishes itself between troubled hearts, however diverse their griefs. The poor people felt that their friend also suffered; they did not precisely know with what, but they forgot their own sorrows in pitying their benefactor. Suffering is the true cement of love. For men to love each other truly, they must have shed tears together.

Genius has its modesty as well as love.

In the mystic marriages which here and there in history unite a man to a people, something takes place of which the transports of sense, the delirium of love, seem to be the only symbol; a moment comes in which saints, or men of genius, feel unknown powers striving mightily within them; they strive, they seek, they struggle until, triumphing over all obstacles, they have forced trembling, swooning humanity to conceive by them.

Love is the true key of history.

Physical love is an ephemeral spark, designed to kindle in human hearts the flame of a more lasting love.

Suffering is the true cement of love.

When he saw suffering, wretchedness, corruption, instead of fleeing he stopped to bind up, to heal, feeling in his heart the surging of waves of compassion. He not only preached love to others; he himself was ravished with it; he sang it, and what was of greater value, he lived it.

Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself.

I love Americans, but not when they try to talk French. What a blessing it is that they never try to talk English.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life.

Love for thy love, and hand for hand I give.

All love is sweet, given or returned.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.

Love at first sight is a revival of an infantile impression. The first love object reappears in a different disguise.

Many times I had spoken about "mental bipolarity" and proved that our affects are bipolar. Desire and disgust, love and hate, will-to-power and will-to-submission, are composed of negative and positive parts like the current of electricity. My contention was that any human affect has its own counterpart. Later Bleuler described this fact as "ambivalence," a term that was accepted by everybody, whereas previously they had laughed at my discovery, and given me the nickname "Stekel with his Bipolarity".

Love rarely overtakes, it mostly comes to meet us.

So long as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.

In love, we are poets; in marriage, we are philosophers.

That's the $64,000 question. And I would love to tell you there was an answer.

The anger of lovers renews the strength of love.

Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.

Love of glory can only create a great hero; contempt of glory creates a great man.

Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed.

Of all the uses of adversity which are sweet, none are sweeter than those which grow out of disappointed love…

Prodigality is indeed the vice of a weak nature, as avarice is of a strong one; it comes of a weak craving for those blandishments of the world which are easily to be had for money, and which, when obtained, are as much worse than worthless as a harlot's love is worse than none.

Wisdom is corrupted by ambition, even when the quality of the ambition is intellectual. For ambition, even of this quality, is but a form of self-love…

Who are wise in love, love most, say least.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

I love argument. I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me - that's not their job.

Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

I fell in love, that is the only expression I can think of, at once, and am still at the mercy of words, though sometimes now, knowing a little of their behaviour very well, I think I can influence them slightly and have even learned to beat them now and then, which they appear to enjoy. I tumbled for words at once. And, when I began to read the nursery rhymes for myself, and, later, to read other verses and ballads, I knew that I had discovered the most important things, to me, that could be ever.

I should say I wanted to write poetry in the beginning because I had fallen in love with words. The first poems I knew were nursery rhymes and before I could read them for myself I had come to love the words of them. The words alone. What the words stood for was of a very secondary importance.

Love is what you've been through with somebody.

Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale by which its portion may be weighed or measured. It does not seek to balance giving and receiving. Love loves; this is its nature.

Love that cares, listens.

The first duty of love is to listen.

Love is like those second-rate hotels where all the luxury is in the lobby.

Facts are an historian’s stock in trade....I love the facts of history, but not for their own sake. I love them as clues of something beyond them--as clues to the nature and meaning of the mysterious universe in which every human being awakes to consciousness.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

I simply can't resist a cat, particularly a purring one. They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know, outside of the girl you love, of course.

The course of free love never runs smooth. I suppose we have all tried it.

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

True love is the only heart disease that is best left to "run on"--the only affection of the heart for which there is no help, and none desired.

The frankest and freest product of the human mind and heart is a love letter; the writer gets his limitless freedom of statement and expression from his sense that no stranger is going to see what he is writing.

Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes--none knows whence--and cannot explain itself.

Love is a madness; if thwarted it develops fast.

Many are they who have a taste and love for drawing, but no talent; and this will be discernible in boys who are not diligent and never finish their drawings with shading.

Infatuation is, when you think that he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Conners, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford -- but you'll take him anyway.

Love is the same as like except you feel sexier.

We love as soon as we learn to distinguish a separate "you" and "me." Love is our attempt to assuage the terror and isolation of that separateness.

Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

Love stretches your heart and makes you big inside.

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae. -

Life's too short. And the biggest curse is falling in love with somebody.

Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.

Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.

What we can do for another is the test of powers; what we can suffer for is the test of love.

YES, I'm in love, I feel it now,
And Cælia has undone me;
And yet I'll swear I can't tell how
The pleasing plague stole on me.
'Tis not her face that love creates,
For there no graces revel;
'Tis not her shape, for there the fates
Have rather been uncivil.
'Tis not her air, for sure in that
There's nothing more than common;
And all her sense is only chat
Like any other woman.
Her voice, her touch, might give th' alarm--
'Twas both perhaps, or neither;
In short, 'twas that provoking charm
Of Cælia altogether.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

Hell is wherever Love is not, and Heaven is Love's location.

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.

To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.

Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.

Those whom the gods love grow young.

I found, much to my relief, that all I needed for my emotional and personal security was my own resolve and determination. I didn't need a marriage and a ring. I had come to realize all too quickly that Leonard Kovner was not a man I could ever really love.

What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.

I don't consider myself to be a quote-unquote "good girl". I'm not prim and proper and polite. I'm very honest, and I love talking about sex, or people's deviances. I love psychology. I like listening to or talking about any personality traits that are unusual. That's what I like about acting.

The human frame being what it is, heart, body and brain all mixed together, and not contained in separate compartments as they will be no doubt in another million years, a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

In the final analysis, love is the only reflection of man's worth.

Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.

Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved. Because you do not know that I love you, you cannot trust me.

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
