Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
Erica Jong
1942-, American Author
Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another's soul.
James Joyce
1882-1941, Irish Author
Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.
Curtis Judalet
Where love rules, there is no will to power; where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung
1875-1961, Swiss Psychiatrist
Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.
Alphonse Karr
How sweet it is to love, and to be dissolved, and as it were to bathe myself in thy love.
Thomas p Kempis
1379-1471, German Monk, Mystic, Religious Writer
Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.
Thomas p Kempis
1379-1471, German Monk, Mystic, Religious Writer
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas p Kempis
1379-1471, German Monk, Mystic, Religious Writer
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.
Thomas p Kempis
1379-1471, German Monk, Mystic, Religious Writer
