Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed.

LAURELL K. HAMILTON

Blue Moon


At night the grackle Love will start
To shriek and shrill,
Nor will he once be still
Till he has wide awake the backward heart.
So selfish Love,
Go hush;
Feathers and claws take off
Or seek some bush.

ELIZABETH BISHOP

Absence is to love as wind is to fire: it extinguishes the little flame, it fans the big.

Every little thing wants to be loved.

I would rather have eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, lips that cannot speak, than a heart that cannot love.

ROBERT TIZON

attributed, Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out


We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant.... You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.

All passions make us commit some faults, love alone makes us ridiculous.

FRANÇOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD

Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims


Love is ... a cloak of suburban guilt.

EVA WISEMAN

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


When love is reached through suffering ... it has a power it can never gain through innocence.

ANNE RICE

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

Children of the future Age
Reading this indignant page,
Know that in a former time
Love! sweet Love! was thought a crime.

WILLIAM BLAKE

"A Little Girl Lost", Songs of Experience


Love is an open door to a possibility of a joyful dance, getting your needs met and fulfilling someone else's needs, trusting you will be safe.

TERRELL WASHINGTON

"To Love is to Trust", The Good Men Project, August 18, 2016


Love does nothing but make you weak! It turns you into an object of pity and derision--a mewling pathetic creature no more fit to live than a worm squirming on the pavement after a hard summer rain.

Love -- bittersweet, irrepressible -- loosens my limbs and I tremble.

SAPPHO

"To Atthis"

Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) was a Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Although most of her poetry is now lost, she was regarded in ancient times as one of the greatest lyric poets and given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet."

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and border and salute each other.

RAINER MARIA RILKE

Letters to a Young Poet

Tags: Rainer Maria Rilke


We do not say of Love that he is myopic. We do not say of Love that he is astigmatic. We say quite simply, Love is blind. We might go further and say, Love is deaf. That would be a profound and obvious truth. We might go further still and say, Love is dumb. But that would be a profound and obvious lie. For love is always an extraordinarily fluent talker.

To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows.

IVAN PANIN

Thoughts


We all crave love. Its universal language unites us as humans. Yet, it also slays us. If you gave people a choice between heartbreak and the Zika virus, we'd all be feverish in bed. Love's pain spreads across our flesh faster than any plague. As soon as you think you're cured, you relapse.

HEIDI K. ISERN

"The responsibility to fall out of love is on you", Quartz, August 5, 2016


Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
