But this may be said for love, that if you strike it out of the soul, life would be insipid, and our being but half animated. - Joseph Addison The consciousness of being loved softens the keenest pang even at the moment of parting; yea, even the eternal farewell is robbed of half of its bitterness when uttered in accents that breathe love to the last sigh. - Joseph Addison When love's well-timed 'tis not a fault of love; The strong, the brave, the virtuous, and the wise, Sink in the soft captivity together. - Joseph Addison, Cato (act III, sc. 1) When love once pleads admission to our hearts, (In spite of all the virtue we can boast), The woman that deliberates is lost. - Joseph Addison, Cato (act IV, sc. 1) Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, Hast thou more of pain or pleasure! . . . .

Alger Sex without love is an empty experience, but, as empty experiences go, it's one of the best. - Woody Allen The more a man loves, the more he suffers. The sum of possible grief for each soul is in proportion to its degree of perfection. - Henri-Frederic Amiel I am a lover and have not found my thing to love. - Sherwood Anderson Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give--which is everything. - Anonymous O Western wind, when wilt thou blow That the small rain down can rain? Christ, that my love were in my arms And I in my bed again! - Anonymous Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. - Jean Anouilh For loving draws us more to things than knowing does, since good is found by going to the thing, whereas the true is found when the thing comes to us. - Saint Thomas Aquinas Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding. - Diane Arbus Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours For one lone soul another lonely soul, Each choosing each through all the weary hours, And meeting strangely at one sudden goal, Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers, Into one beautiful and perfect whole; And life's long night is ended, and the way Lies open onward to eternal day. - Sir Edwin Arnold, Somewhere There Waiteth Ah, love, let us be true To one another! - Matthew Arnold Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain. - Matthew Arnold, Dover Beach Displaying page 1 of 39 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
