“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 56
Don't look for someone you can talk sense with,
Find someone with whom you can talk nonsense.
Call it friendship, call it love, call it whatever,
Role of a companion isn't sensibility but acceptance.
That's why I walk around in shabby clothes,
That’s how I get to know about people's true nature.
Everybody likes to butter up those in suits,
Those who smile at the people with nothing,
are the ones with real substance of character.
If you wanna find out who your enemies are,
Walk fancy and wait for the butter to pour in.
If you wanna find out the humans amongst the leeches,
Walk like a vagabond with your shirt not tucked in.
Be cautious of those who applaud your accomplishment.
And never lose those who walk by you in hopelessness.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 63
Love is a lamp,
That the sane cannot light.
Peace is poetry,
That the sober cannot write.
Growth is green,
That the greedy cannot plant.
Insight is a state,
That the pompous cannot land.
Society is a cup of tea,
That the selfish cannot make.
World is a responsibility,
That the animals cannot take.
However, it's okay if the world feels too heavy.
Start by taking your neighborhood's responsibility.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 80
Why do we take breath,
Is it to stay alive!
Why do we eat bread,
Is it to stay alive!
Why do we drink water,
Is it to stay alive!
Why do we take naps,
Is it to stay alive!
Why do we look to mate,
Is it to stay alive!
Why do we have me time,
Is it to stay alive!
These just keep the body alive, nothing else.
The mind is alive when it lives beyond the self.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 82
I am a soldier, I am a reformer.
What will I do with a long life!
If you wanna bless me with something,
Bless me, O Nature, with courage to die with smile.
Life and death are civilian affair.
A reformer works each day with coffin in pocket.
There'll be no life for any of the civilians,
If the reformer slips into drunken enjoyment.
A reformer doesn't know what is a hangover,
Because a reformer is never sober.
Drunkenness of booze wears off in a day,
Drunkenness of sacrifice lasts through millennia.
The selfish drink to seek escape.
The reformer is too free to need such cheap help.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 9
The world doesn't need more avengers, but amantes.
Hear me well, my brave amantes, it's time to assemble!
More than Captain America we need Amelia Earhart,
More than Madame Web we need Madame Curie-like rebel.
Scrutinize all tradition with a fresh set of eyes,
Rebel against dogma, and stand up to discrimination.
Beliefs and doctrines surely have their place,
But none of it is above scrutiny of the new generation.
Each generation is to write their new set of laws,
Learning from the triumphs and downfalls of yesterday.
You just remember, that all roads lead to people,
And life that doesn't lift people is life gone astray.
Ayudar a la gente es la salvación de la mente.
Elevación de la gente es la elevación de la mente.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 91
Citizens are the alpha, citizens are the omega.
Whatever good is possible, it comes from the citizens.
Citizens are the creator, citizens are the ravager.
Citizens make the autocrats, citizens can crush them.
Citizens are the cause, citizens are the effect.
There is no destiny, only determination of the citizens.
Citizens are the worshipper, citizens are the worshipped.
There is no religion, only humanity of the citizens.
Citizens are the gospel, citizens are commandments.
When citizens command with conscience, corruption falls.
Citizens are the altar, citizens are the idol.
When the citizens come down to the streets, dictators fall.
Autocrats and dictators rule because the citizens allow it.
Once the citizens wake up from hibernation,
it's time for their last wish.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 99
Rise, revolt and roar out loud,
No more pleading in front of prejudice!
Breathe, burn and brave out loud,
No more bearing in front of malice!
Dream, dare and dance out loud,
No more dangling as docile doormat!
Heave, hold and help out loud,
No more retreat in front of cold updraught!
Fall, fix and forge out loud,
No more settling as the forgotten figures!
Grow, glow, and break out loud,
No more groveling at the feet of bloodsuckers!
Only antidote to oppression is civilian unsubmission.
When the children go astray, it’s time for parental intervention.”

“Amanusa sighed. She held out her hand to her husband who helped her to her feet. "Back to the salt mine Grey calls a workroom. I left my students practicing lancing."
"Good god," Grey exclaimed. "The floors will be awash in blood."
"Hardly. They're practicing on themselves. Most of them haven't managed to pierce the skin yet." Amanusa shook her head in mild disappointment.”

“Amar a alguien es decirle:
Tú no morirás jamás.”
Source: El misterio del ser
“Amar, en general, significa hacer el bien. Así entendemos y no podemos entender de otra manera el amor.
Y el amor no es sólo la palabra, sino las acciones que hacemos en bien de los demás.
Si una persona decide que vale la pena renunciar a las exigencias de un amor pequeño en el presente en aras de un amor más grande en el futuro , o se engaña a sí misma o engaña a los demás, y no ama a nadie salvo a sí mismo.
No existe el amor en el futuro: el amor sólo existe en el presente. Si el hombre no cumple con el cometido del amor en el presente , es que no hay amor en él.”
“Amar es aprender a vivir. Soñar es aprender a morir. Aún estoy aprendiendo.”
“Amar es cansarse de estar solo: es, por lo tanto, una cobardía y una traición a nosotros mismos.”
“Amar es desear "concebir y procear", y por eso el amante "busca y se esfuerza por encontrar la cosa bella en la cual pueda concebir". En otras palabras, el amor no encuentra su sentido en el ansia de cosas ya hechas, completas y terminadas, sino en el umpulso a participar en la construcción de esas cosas. El amor está muy cercano a la trascendencia; es tan sólo otro nombre del impulso creativo y, por lo tanto, está cargado de riesgos, ya que toda creación ignora siempre cuál será su producto final.”

“Amar es necesitarse. Amor es necesidad”
Source: Cicatriz
“Amar es ponerse al cuello el nudo corredizo de la ilusión; adorar a alguien mientras pareces asfixiarte. Pero incluso el amor no correspondido, el amor fugaz, es mejor que nada.”
Source: The Passion of Artemisia
“Amar es tener miedo. Tienes miedo, un miedo de muerte, de que les ocurra algo a aquellos que amas.
Piensa en las posibilidades.
¿Se te encoge el corazón con cada pensamiento?
Eso, amigo mío, es amor.
Y el amor nos esclaviza a todos, pues no se puede amar sin miedo.”
Source: The Young Elites
“Amar es una de las decisiones más importantes de la vida, sin embargo, no hay experiencia humana donde se tengan más conflictos y sensación de fracaso.”
Source: Amar es una decision
“Amar las palabras, tener interés en lo que se escribe, creer en el poder de los libros, esto supera a todo lo demás, y a su lado la vida de uno se queda muy pequeña.”
“Amar no es para cobardes, es sólo para valientes.”

“Amar não é para os inteligentes”

“Amar o admirar cualquier cosa que no sea uno es alejarse un paso de la ruina espiritual absoluta; aunque no estaremos bien mientras amemos o admiremos cualquier cosa más de lo que amamos y admiramos a Dios.”

“Amar para vivir; vivir para amar.”

“Amar é saber que tem de quebrar barreiras, sem plantar o ódio.”
“Amar é, sempre, ser vulnerável. Para que nunca se sofra com isso, aconselha-se não se amar algo, ou mesmo, alguém. Se sugere proteger a si mesmo nos próprios hobbies, mimos e zelos, evitar qualquer envolvimento com as pessoas, guardar o coração na segurança do caixão do próprio ego. Dessa forma, nessa tumba segura e tenaz, sem movimento ou ar, o seu coração provavelmente mudará para melhor. Sim, sim, ele não se partirá, antes se tornará indestrutível, impenetrável, invencível ou inalienável!: ele nunca precisará de algum perdão.
Mas essa comprável alternativa sistemática de proteção de tragédias, é preciso que se diga, é condenatória. Isso, porque o único lugar que existe além do céu, onde se pode estar perfeitamente a salvo de todos os acidentes e perturbações do amor, é o inferno”

The Court of Nightmares was the work of a God.”

“Amare dopo. La questione del desiderio dopo la morte è probabilmente la più complessa da raccontare, la più difficile da confessare. Bisogna accettare le proprie debolezze, accettare che il bambino dentro di noi, di fronte all’abbandono più terrificante, riprenda il suo posto, si agiterà un momento ma poi si calmerà.
Quanto a me, ho sentito presto il bisogno di una presenza. Ho provato il bisogno di quell’amore che mi era divenuto così familiare. Non capivo come avrei potuto vivere senza. Come mio padre, non potevo concepire di non amare più. E così ho amato.”
Source: La Vie, après
“Amare non equivale ad essere innamorati. Innamorarsi significa pensare di non poter più fare a meno di una persona. Amare è averne l'assoluta convinzione.”

“Amare o aver amato basta: non chiedete nulla in seguito, perché non si possono trovare altre perle fra le pieghe tenebrose della vita.”

“Amarillio, just turn to the left and 500 yards down”
“Amaris keeps texting me pictures of him. She took him to the record shop. She says he’s really into Pink Floyd.”
He laughs, scrubbing a hand through his hair. “I mean, who doesn’t love The Wall?”
“I always thought he was a Yellow Submarine kind of frog.”

“Amarsi è appartenersi”
“Amaryllis felt overwhelmed with a sudden rising emotion she could only identify as love, and that scared her to death. She had never expected to feel so much for another human being.”

“Amaryllis in Blueberry is a rich, evocative story about an unusual family that will sweep readers away to another place and time. Amaryllis's voice is a spellbinding and unique blend of naivet and wisdom. A perfect melding of family saga, murder mystery and a meditation on faith, loyalty and love, this novel will both haunt and entertain you.”
“Amaryllis laughed softly. "You have this look on you face of absolute ecstasy." {…} "Woman. You can not use that word. I would only look like that if I was having sex. The right kind of sex." {…} She laughed again. "I can't help how you look. Maybe you get the same look on your face when you're having sex. Do you like food that much?”

“Amassing of wealth is an opportunity for good deeds, not hubris”

“Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.”
“Amateurs are fond of advising that all practical measures should be postponed pending carrying out detailed researches upon the habits of anophelines, the parasite rate of localities, the effect of minor works, and so on. In my opinion, this is a fundamental mistake. It implies the sacrifice of life and health on a large scale while researches which may have little real value and which may be continued indefinitely are being attempted… In practical life we observe that the best practical discoveries are obtained during the execution of practical work and that long academic discussions are apt to lead to nothing but academic profit. Action and investigation together do more than either of these alone.”

“Amateurs are not afraid to make mistakes or look
ridiculous in public. They're in love, so they don't hesitate to do work that others think of as silly or just plain stupid. [...] Amateurs know that contributing something is better than contributing
nothing.”
