Great passions, my dear, don't exist: they're liars' fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while. -:-Anna Magnani
For it is the suffering flesh, it is suffering, it is death, that lovers perpetuate upon the earth. Love is at once the brother, son, and father of death, which is its sister, mother, and daughter. And thus it is that in the depth of love there is a depth of eternal despair, out of which springs hope and consolation. -:-Miguel de Unamuno
A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul's highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills. -:-George Eliot
For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love. -:-Francis Bacon
A pity beyond all telling
Is hid in the heart of love. -:-
However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience. -:-Jeanette Winterson
Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet. -:-Andy Warhol
A man in love is like a clipped coupon- it's time to cash in. -:-Mae West
I don't want to live- I want to love first, and live incidentally. -:-Zelda Fitzgerald
