LOVE QUOTES XXV
quotations about love
This may be the very nature of love, a passion as fickle as the sea, full of certainty when the object of desire is absent, yet dubious when confronted again with the lover's presence.
TOBSHA LEARNER
The Witch of Cologne
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.
FRED ROGERS

There is no passion that more excites us to every thing that is noble and generous than virtuous Love.

Why is the measure of love loss?
JEANETTE WINTERSON
Written on the Body
Not the swart Pariah in some Indian grove,
Lone, lean, and hunted by his brother's hate,
Hath drunk so deep the cup of bitter fate
As that poor wretch who cannot, cannot love:
He bears a load which nothing can remove,
A killing, withering weight.

But supreme love, all unheeding, straight forgets the gift it brings.

Lie in his bosom like children; he made them for this purpose only.

Love called, and I could not linger,
But sought the forbidden tryst,
As music follows the finger
Of the dreaming lutanist.

SAMUEL JOHNSON
"Samuel Johnson on SSM", 9Honey, November 14, 2017
