I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity. -:-George Sand

The deeper I spin The hunter will sin ... for your ivory skin ... Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees the river laughing At you and me ... Halluijah, heavens white rose The doors you open I just can't close -:-U2, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?
And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time. -:-D. H. Lawrence
A woman's whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures.

In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it. -:-Franz Kafka
We loved, sir- used to meet: How sad and bad and mad it was- But then, how it was sweet! -:-Robert Browning
Lying here beside you, I hear the echoes of your sighs. Promise me you'll stay with me and keep warm tonight. So hold me close and love me. Give my heart a smile.-:- Feels So Right by Alabama
Any walk through a park that runs between a double line of mangy trees and passes brazenly by the ladies' toilet is invariably known as Lover's Lane. -:-F. Scott Fitzgerald
