Love is ... knowing that, should it come to it, they would want you to hollow out their corpse and use the carcass as a one-man tent to keep warm. Should it come to it.

EVA WISEMAN

"Love is ... let me count the ways you are special", The Guardian, February 14, 2016


The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

Love is blind; couch not his eyes.

GEORGE HENRY LEWES

Ranthorpe


Didn't love, like a plant from India, require a prepared soil, a particular temperature? Sighs in the moonlight, long embraces, tears flowing over hands yielded to a lover, all the fevers of the flesh and the languors of tenderness thus could not be separated from the balconies of great châteaux filled with idle amusements, a boudoir with silk blinds, a good thick carpet, full of pots of flowers, and a bed raised on a dais, nor from the sparkle of precious stones and shoulder knots on servants' livery.

GUSTAVE FLAUBERT

Madame Bovary


I sought for love on the highway,
For love unselfish and pure,
And found it in good deeds blooming,
Tho' often in haunts obscure.

Being in love is an elaborate state of anticipation for the continual exchanging of certain kinds of gifts. The gifts can range from a glance to the offering of the entire self. But the gifts must be gifts: they cannot be claimed. One has no rights as a lover--except the right to anticipate what the other wishes to give.

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.

LYNDA BARRY

attributed, The Surrendered Single


Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals. It is the open fount which cries, 'Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters.'

MARY BAKER EDDY

"Love that finds solutions", Christian Science Monitor, April 6, 2016


Love is the endless verb; a relationship encompassing the ultimate in holiness. Love does conquer death because in its moment lived it's eternal in nature. Love gives us our purpose, and is our ultimate memorial.

MITCHELL HURVITZ

"Perspectives: Love is tangible presence of God", Greenwich Time, October 27, 2017


Love is the building blocks of creation, love is the substance from which we are made. From love, to love, by love.
