“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

“When [men] see a pretty woman, and feel the delicious madness of love coming over them, they always stop to calculate her temper, her money, their own money, or suitableness for the married life.... Ha, ha, ha! Let us fool in this way no more. I have been in love forty-three times with all ranks and conditions of women, and would have married every time if they would have let me. How many wives had King Solomon, the wisest of men? And is not that story a warning to us that Love is master of the wisest? It is only fools who defy him.”

That drop of balm turns the bitter cup to a delicious nectar.”

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.”

“Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”

“You know you're in love when you stop comparing.”

“Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.”
