Love, Romance and
You Know What!

Romantic Love

We love in another's soul
Whatever of ourselves
We can deposit in it
The greater the deposit
The greater the love.
Irving Layton - The Whole Bloody Bird

Love is mutuality of devotion forever subduing
the antagonisms inherent in divided functions.
Erik Erikson

There is no heaven like mutual love.
George Granville - Peleus and Thetis

Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh - Ardele

Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
Franz Joseph von Munch-Bellinghausen - Ingomar the Barbarian

Love consists in this, that two solitudes
protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke - Letters to a Young Poet

Love from one being to another can only be that two solitudes come
nearer, recognise and protect and comfort each other.
Han Suyin

In real love you want the other person's good.
In romantic love you want the other person.
Margaret Anderson - The Fiery Fountains

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals
everything and two minus one equals nothing.
Mignon McLaughlin

I wonder, by my troth, what you and I
Did, till we lov'd?
John Donne

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything
with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.
Flaubert

Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost

O lyric Love, half angel and half bird
And all a wonder and a wild desire.
Robert Browning

An ideal of love: To love with all desire and yet
to be as kind as an old man past desire.
W B Yeats

True love is like ghosts, which everybody
talks about and few have seen.
La Rochefoucauld

Love � an attempt to change a piece
of a dream-world into reality.
Theodore Reik

Moved by a passion they do not understand for a goal they seldom reach, men and women are haunted by the vision of a distant possibility that refuses to be extinguished.
Nathaniel Branden

The Lion is the King of Beasts, but he is scarcely suitable for a domestic pet. In the same way, I suspect love is rather too violent a passion to make a good domestic sentiment.
Robert Louis Stevenson - Virginibus Puerisque

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde - The ./picture of Dorian Gray

Love is the realisation that one
woman differs from another.
M Levy - The Moons of Paradise

A man may be said to love most truly that woman in
whose company he can feel drowsy in comfort.
George Jean Nathan

Nothing spoils a romance so much as a sense of humour
in the woman � or the want of it in a man.
Oscar Wilde

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust
of everyday life into a golden haze.
Elinor Glyn

Try to reason about love and you will lose your reason.
French Proverb

Love is sweet, but tastes better with bread.
Yiddish proverb

Love is a sour delight, a sugar'd grief,
a living death, an everdying life.
Thomas Watson

Ah love, the walks over soft grass, the smiles over candlelight, the arguments over just about everything else.
Max Headroom

Love, oh love, oh loveless love
Has set our hearts on goalless goals
From silkless silk and milkless milk
We've grown used to soulless souls.
Billie Holliday - Loveless Love

If thou remember'st not the slightest folly
That ever love did make thee run into,
Thou hast not loved.
William Shakespeare - As You Like It

He that would win his dame, must do As Love does when he draws his bow; With one hand thrust the lady from, And with the other pull her home.
Samuel Butler - Hudibras

'Tis better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I once talked with my mentor about love, and my mentor said,
I have learned that there are many ways of falling and staying in love.
I have learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be something else to take its place.
I have learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I have learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
I have learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I have learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I have learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I have learned that although the word 'love' can have many meanings, it loses value when overused.
