Love is like those second-rate hotels where all the luxury is in the lobby. - Paul-Jean Toulet
The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it. - Francis Quarles, Emblems
Immature love says, "I love you because I need you." Mature love says, "I need you because I love you." – Erich Fromm
Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane. - Honoré de Balzac
Two things only a man cannot hide: that he is drunk and that he is in love. – Antiphanes
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. - Bruce Lee
You will find as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. – Henry Drummond
True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. - François, duc de La Rochefoucauld
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star:
So many times do I love again.
- Thomas Lovell Beddoes
I learned the real meaning of love. Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people, you can set your watch by them. And that's love, even if it doesn't seem very exciting. - Sylvester Stallone
