Alas...I too have known love, that ruler of hearts, that soul of our soul: it's never brought me anything except one kiss and twenty kicks in the rump. How could such a beautiful cause produce such an abominable effect on you? (Voltaire, "Candide") >> More Voltaire Quotations...
I know this love, that sovereign of hearts, that soul of our souls; yet it never cost me more than a kiss and twenty kicks on the backside. How could this beautiful cause produce in you an effect so abominable. (Voltaire, "Candide") >> More Voltaire Quotations...
It is love; love, the comfort of the human species, the preserver of the universe, the soul of all sentient beings, love, tender love. (Voltaire, "Candide") >> More Voltaire Quotations...
Don't forget that in the midst of all your pain and heartache, you are surrounded by beauty, the wonder of creation, art, your music and culture, the sounds of laughter and love, of whispered hopes and celebrations, of new life and transformation, of reconciliation and forgiveness. (W. Paul Young, "The Shack") >> More W. Paul Young Quotations...
Love and relationship. All love and relationship is possible for you only because it already exits within me, within God myself. Love is not the limitation; love is the flying. I am love. (W. Paul Young, "The Shack") >> More W. Paul Young Quotations...
Why do children love to hide and seek? Ask any person who has a passion to explore and discover and create. The choice to hide so many wonders from you is an act of love that is a gift inside the process of life. (W. Paul Young, "The Shack") >> More W. Paul Young Quotations...
He exulted in the possession of himself once more; he realized how much of the delight of the world he had lost when he was absorbed in that madness which they called love; he had had enough of it; he did not want to be in love anymore if love was that. (W. Somerset Maugham, "Of Human Bondage") >> More W. Somerset Maugham Quotations...
He knew that all things human are transitory and therefore that it must cease one day or another. He looked forward to that day with eager longing.

Somerset Maugham, "Of Human Bondage") >> More W. Somerset Maugham Quotations...
