Quotes from Literature about Love
below are some quotes from the page that I like

...

Ovine [Publius Ovidius Naso], 43 B.C. - A.D. C 18 Ibid. II,107
To be loved, be lovable.

Kaleel Jamison
Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain. l. 799

Doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt that the sun doth move; doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt I love you.II, ii, 115

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

St. Augustine
Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

Thoreau
There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Leo F. Buscaglia
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

Alicia Barnhart
True love never dies, for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away.

John Donne
Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

Karen Casey
Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Mother Theresa
It is easy to love people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them

Paul Tillich
The first duty of love is to listen.

Thomas Campion, 1567-1620
Never love unless you can bear with all the faults of man!

Edmund Spenser, 1552-1599
And all for love, and nothing for reward
