This Lullaby
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

It's easy to live when you're in love.
LEO ROBIN
"Easy Living"

BETTE DAVIS

Love makes its record in deeper colors as we grow out of childhood into manhood; as the Emperors signed their names in green ink when under age, but when of age, in purple.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
Table-Talk
Love makes you do stupid things -- like making someone an omelet for no good reason other than to see them smile. Gross.

Love's dream, too, knows decay;
Awhile the soul-harp's wildly thrilling strain
Pours out those notes we ne'er forget again,
And the deep fountains of the heart burst forth
As if to gladden every spot of earth;
But O! it will not stay.
MARY T. LATHRAP
"Song of the Earth-Weary"
There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
