Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done. -Francis W. Bourdillon
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. -Vincent van Gogh
I have no regrets. I will never regret loving someone because the feeling of love for five minutes is greater than an eternity of hurt. -Kurt Langner
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. -Thomas Merton
Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love. -William Shakespeare
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. -Mother Teresa
In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person. -Margaret Anderson
Each moment of a happy lover’s hour is worth an age of dull and common life. -Aphra Behn
