I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.” True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.
LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, Love: Quotes and Passages from the Heart (B.C. Aronson)
As your lover describes you, so you are.
JEANETTE WINTERSON, Sexing the Cherry
Call us what you will, we are made such by love.
JOHN DONNE, The Canonization
Love is the only shocking act left on the face of the earth.
SANDRA BERNHARD, Parted Lips: Lesbian Love Quotes Through the Ages
I used to think romantic love was a neurosis shared by two, a supreme foolishness. I no longer think that. There's nothing foolish in loving anyone. Thinking you'll be loved in return is what's foolish.
RITA MAE BROWN, Bingo
Love clamors far more incessantly and passionately at a closed gate than an open one!
MARIE CORELLI, The Master Christian
Love is the wild card of existence.
RITA MAE BROWN, In Her Day
I love the one who punishes me well.
ANNE RICE, Beauty's Release
You can love more than one person at a time, and I don't give a damn what the self-help books say.
RITA MAE BROWN, Full Cry
I profess not to know how women's hearts are wooed and won. To me they have always been matters of riddle and admiration. Some seem to have but one vulnerable point, or door of access; while others have a thousand avenues, and may be captured in a thousand different ways. It is a great triumph of skill to gain the former, but a still greater proof of generalship to maintain possession of the latter, for man must battle for his fortress at every door and window. He who wins a thousand common hearts is therefore entitled to some renown; but he who keeps undisputed sway over the heart of a coquette is indeed a hero.
WASHINGTON IRVING, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Love likes not the falling fruit,
Nor the withered tree.
SIR WALTER RALEIGH, As Ye Came from the Holy Land
O, wicked love ... that has so many unnamed components.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
BIBLE, John 15:13
Mother love is the most powerful, the most irrational force on earth, even more powerful than sexual love. However, one does lead to the other, so best not to spurn the former.
RITA MAE BROWN, Full Cry
We can die by it, if not live by love,
And if unfit for tombs and hearse
Our legend be, it will be fit for verse.
JOHN DONNE, The Canonization
True love will not brook reserve; it feels undervalued and outraged, when even the sorrows of those it loves are concealed from it.
WASHINGTON IRVING, "The Wife," The Sketch Book
Love is an anesthesia. It puts you to sleep, it allows you to overlook, not question, not care ... and then, one day, you come to. And, by God and all his horny angels ... it’s an eye opener.
