LOVE QUOTES VII
quotations about love
Love is the one thing that can really sure-enough lighten all of life's dark clouds.
SINCLAIR LEWIS
Elmer Gantry
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
Near even a candle, the visible heat.
So it is with a person in love.
JANE HIRSHFIELD
"The Visible Heat"
Love is the kiss
in the quiet nest
while the leaves are trembling,
mirrored in the water.

When love is reached through suffering ... it has a power it can never gain through innocence.
ANNE RICE
Memnoch the Devil
It's logical that everyone wants to be in love. Then, for a while, life isn't taken up with the tedium of thinking everything through, talking things through. It's nice to be able to notice small objects or small moments, to point them out and to have someone eager to pretend that there's more to them than it seems.
ANN BEATTIE

if it picks and chooses the rocks it's willing to touch?

To love and to live well is wished of many, but incident to few.
JOHN LYLY
Euphues and His England
I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like genius, she is ignorant of what she does.
JEANETTE WINTERSON
The Passion
To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows.
IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.
ERICH SEGAL

Love is nothing but lust misspelled.
DAN SIMMONS
Olympos
Strange
indeed how love in other
ways so particular
will pick a corner
in that charnel-house
tidy it and coil up there, perhaps
even fall asleep--her face
