Love Quotations
for Valentine's Day Love quotes continued..."Footfalls echo in the memory "The art of love ... is largely the art of
persistence." "All mankind love a lover." "Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in
looking together in the same direction." "The hardest of all is learning to be a well of
affection, and not a fountain; to show them we love them not when we feel like
it, but when they do." "There is no difficulty that enough love will not
conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love
will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that
enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be
the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the
mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you
could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the
world." "Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass." "In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one
and yet remain two." "Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.'

heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." "Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or

is sufficient unto love." "And think not you can guide the course of love. For
love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course." "You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." "From success you get a lot of things, but not that great
inside thing that love brings you." "Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it
exists… When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of
ourselves. We are imcomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has
been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence." "Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when
I loved, I did not say so." "Relationships are like Rome. Difficult to start out,
incredible during the prosperity of the 'Golden Age', and unbearable during the
fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat
itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt...that thrives, and continues
to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soulmate, and your
love." "There is only one terminal dignity... love." "Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; "The love we give away is the only love we keep." "The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we
are loved." "The supreme happiness in life it the conviction that we
are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." "No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity,
if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family,
what have you really accomplished?" "Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can
sometimes...just be an illusion." "Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let
me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by
in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it
may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my
face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and
want, more than all the world, your return." "Love rules without rules." (Amore regge senza legge.) "No time of life is so beautiful as the early days of
love, when with every meeting, every glance, one fetches something new home to
rejoice over." "The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary
thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will
discover that for you the world is transformed." "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving
someone deeply gives you courage." "Love is infallible; it has no errors, for all errors are
the want of love." "Love at first sight is easy to understand. It's when two
people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes a
miracle." "The event of falling in love... in one high bound it has
overleaped the massive wall of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself
altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the
interests of another in the centre of our being." "To a person in love, the value of the individual is
intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission." "The bravest are the tenderest. The loving are the
daring." "The cure for all ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows
and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word 'love.' It is the divine
vitality that everywhere produces and restores life." "Do all things with love." "Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive
long after your good health has vanished." "This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a
feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of
conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with
joyous amazement, that this was for life." "One man all by himself is nothing. Two people who belong
together make a world." "No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny
without leaving some mark on it forever." "Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the
ones who receive it." "To live without loving is not really to live." "Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be
easy... Anger... tears... laughter… It's when you want to be together despite
it all. That's when you truly love another. I'm sure of it." "If we all discovered that we had only five minutes left
to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by
people calling other people to tell them that they loved them." Back... Part 1Next... Part 3
