LOVE QUOTES XLIV

quotations about love

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

BOB DYLAN

"Make You Feel My Love", Time Out of Mind


Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.

To find love round your ways,
A shield in evil days;
A robe that keeps you warm,
As ermine, from the storm;
To wear it as a jewel-flame,
A cross of honor, with a royal name;
To sit a queen, unmoved
By want or grief--this is to be beloved.

D. H. LAWRENCE

Sons and Lovers

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. His opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage".


The problem with being passionately in love ... is that it deprives you of too much sleep.

Love can smack you like a seagull, and pour all over your feet like junkmail. You can't be ready for such a thing any more than salt water taffy gets you ready for the ocean.

DANIEL HANDLER

Adverbs


The world gets grimy and the love object is in stark relief from it's surroundings. This is love, a pretty thing on an ugly street.

DANIEL HANDLER

Adverbs


Love is about feeling that there is something bigger than just ourselves and our own worries and existence. Whether it is love of another person, of country, of God, of an idea, love is fundamentally an intense devotion to this notion that something is bigger than us. Love is ultimately larger than friendship, comfort, ceremony, knowledge, or joy. Indeed, as the Four Wise Ones once said, it may be all you need.

It is best to be off with the old love before you are on with the new.

DANISH PROVERB


The heart is forever unfaithful, and the feelings of love will come and go, but true love is not about what you feel. It is about what you do.

Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.

ECKHART TOLLE

Love is a very contradiction of all the elements of our ordinary nature -- it makes the proud man meek -- the cheerful, sad -- the high-spirited, tame; our strongest resolutions, our hardiest energy fail before it. Believe me, you cannot prophesy of its future effect in a man from any knowledge of his past character.

Constancy in love ... is only inconstancy confined to one object.

FRANÇOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD

Love makes the world go round.

FRENCH PROVERB


Love rays us round as glory swathes a star,
And, from the mystic touch of lips and palms,
Streams rosy warmth!

The only way to experience love is to buy it and have it installed in your head. But, like most technology, its shelf-life is limited.
