Robert Frost If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have. Sir James M. Barrie Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Henry Louis Mencken Love is a friendship set to music. E. Joseph Cossman True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. Erich Segal Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination. Voltaire They do not love that do not show their love.

William Shakespeare Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life. Lord Byron Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet. William Shakespeare I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. Henry Ward Beecher Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Aristotle If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing. ~ Mignon McLaughlin Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low. ~ Henry Ward Beecher The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.
