I've found out that falling in love doesn't have anything to do with time. It can take a year or an instant. It happens when it's ready to happen.

NORA ROBERTS

The Calhouns


Love is ... telling someone when they have crap between their teeth.

EVA WISEMAN

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

Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but antipolitical, perhaps the most powerful of all antipolitical forces.

HANNAH ARENDT

The Human Condition

Tags: Hannah Arendt


Man ever is and always shall be blessed; for he loves, and love is an onward current that never ebbs; and borne upon this current humanity will at last make its far, fair haven; and meanwhile, as it voyages, it will find the course not too rough, but glorified by frequent halcyon days and calm nights set with stars.

FRANK CUMMINS LOCKWOOD

Robert Browning


To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission. It roots in a bare wisdom that exists in senses more than mind, a wisdom that, in primitive form, evolved the mind which so often overlooks it.

Love clamors far more incessantly and passionately at a closed gate than an open one!

They say love's like a bus, and if you wait long enough another one will come along, but not in this place where the buses are slow and most of the cute ones are gay.

DANIEL HANDLER

Adverbs

Tags: Daniel Handler


To describe love-making is immoral and immodest; you know it is. To describe it as it really is, or would appear to you and me as lookers-on, would be to describe the most dreary farce, to chronicle the most tautological twaddle. To take note of sighs, hand-squeezes, looks at the moon, and so forth--does this business become our dignity as historians? Come away from those foolish young people--they don't want us; and dreary as their farce is, and tautological as their twaddle, you may be sure it amuses them, and that they are happy enough without us.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY

Philip


When a plain-looking woman is loved, it is certain to be very passionately; for either her influence on her lover is irresistible, or she has some secret and more irresistible charms than those of beauty.

JEAN DE LA BRUYÈRE

"Of the Affections", Les Caractères

Jean de La Bruyère (16 August 1645 - 11 May 1696) was a French philosopher and moralist noted for his satire. His Caractères, which appeared in 1688, captures the psychological, social, and moral profile of French society of his time.


You ought to love all mankind; nay, every individual of mankind. You ought not to love the individuals of your domestic circles less, but to love those who exist beyond it more.

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

"Essay on Christianity"


Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections, as leaves are to the life of trees. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE

American Note-Books, Mar. 9, 1853

Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life.
In just a glance, down here on magic street,
Loves a fool's dance
And I ain't got much sense, but I still got my feet.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

I've read more than a hundred books
Seeing love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer
I'm still no nearer
The meaning of love

DEPECHE MODE

"The Meaning of Love", A Broken Frame


If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.

Love defies all calculation. We are not judicious in love; we do not select those whom we ought to love, but those whom we cannot help loving.

GEORGE HENRY LEWES

attributed, Proust Was a Neuroscientist


The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.
