When He commanded the sun to emerge from chaos, he added, "Thou shalt enlighten and warm the world." When He gave life to the lark, He enjoined upon it to soar and sing in the air. Finally, He created man and told him to love. And seeing the sun shine, perceiving the rose scattering its odors, hearing the lark warble in the air, how can man help loving? - Anastasius Grun (pseudonym of Anton Alexander, Graf von Auersperg) Far worse it is To lose than never to have tasted bliss.

Havergal, Royal Commandments--Loving Allegiance All brave men love; for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life or in physical contests. - Nathaniel Hawthorne What a sweet reverence is that when a young man deems his mistress a little more than mortal and almost chides himself for longing to bring her close to his heart. - Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun (vol. II, ch. XV) To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind. - William Hazlitt (1) Love is mutually feeding each other, not one living on another like a ghoul. - Bessie Head, A Question of Power Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat. - Ben Hecht It is an old story, yet remains ever new. - Heinrich Heine The fountain of love is the rose and the lily, the sun and the dove. - Heinrich Heine Oh, fair, oh sweet and holy as dew at morning tide, I gaze on thee, and yearnings, sad in my bosom hide. [Ger., Du bist wie eine Blume, so hold, so schon und rein; Ich shau' dich an und Wehmut schleicht mir ins Herz hinein.] - Heinrich Heine, Du bist wie eine Blume It is an ancient story Yet it is ever new.
