Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
* Thomas Moore
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.
* Thomas Mann
The first duty of love is to listen. ~Paul Tillich~
Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. ~Franklin P. Jones~
Love is not a union merely between two creatures, it is a union between two spirits. ~Frederick W. Robertson~
Love is too strong a word to say it too early, but it has too beautiful a meaning to say it too late. ~Kurt Spiteri Cornish~
To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others. ~Francois Mauriac~
Lust is when you love what you see. Love is when you lust for what's inside.

If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. ~Ann Landers~
A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
* George Jean Nathan
A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks;
A woman loses hers after four kisses
--H.L. Mencken
It is better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
--Alfred Lord Tennyson
A Kiss that's never tasted
Is forever and ever wasted.

I wasn't kissing her I was whispering in her mouth

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.

Love is like a roller coaster; you pay a lot of money to get tossed around, and before you know it, the ride's over and you are covered in vomit - Fernando Martinez :barf
Some say love, it is a river, That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor, That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, And you it's only seed.
When the night has been too lonely, And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter, Far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, In the spring becomes the rose.
