Love Quotes

Albert Schweitzer:

Thought cannot avoid the ethical or reverence and love for all life. It will abandon the old confined systems of ethics and be forced to recognize the ethics that knows no bounds. But on the other hand, those who believe in love for all creation must realize clearly the difficulties involved in the problem of a boundless ethic and must be resolved not to veil from [humankind] the conflicts which this ethic will involve [us], but allow [us] really to experience them. To think out in every implication the ethic of love for all creation -- this is the difficult task which confronts our age.”


Alfred Adler:

We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a "getaway."
We cannot love and be limited.


Alfred Tennyson:

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.


Allan K. Chalmers:

The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.


Ambrose Bierce:

Love: a temporary insanity, curable by marriage.


Amy Bloom:

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.


Amy Tan:

I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.


Anais Nin:

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.


Ann Landers:

If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.


Anne Morrow Lindbergh:

Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.


Antoine de Saint-Exupery:

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.


Arthur Rubinstein:

Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.


Barbara De Angelis:

Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.


Barbara De Angelis:

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.


Bayard Rustin:

When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous -- a man who brutalizes people. But you love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create social change -- and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it -- at which point they can become human too.


Bayard Taylor:

I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars grow old...
