Have you ever had a difference with a dear friend? How his letters, written in the period of love and confidence, sicken and rebuke you! What a dreary mourning it is to dwell upon those vehement protests of dead affection! What lying epitaphs they make over the corpse of love! What dark, cruel comments upon Life and Vanities! Most of us have got or written drawers full of them. They are closet-skeletons which we keep and shun (William Makepeace Thackeray, "Vanity Fair") >> More William Makepeace Thackeray 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...
I've never forgotten him. Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart. I still cannot understand how he could abandon me so unceremoniously, without any sort of goodbye, without looking back even once. The pain is like an axe that chops my heart. (Yann Martel, "Life of Pi") >> More Yann Martel Quotations...
You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you; you hate it because you are afraid of it; you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved. (Yevgeny Zamyatin, "We") >> More Yevgeny Zamyatin Quotations...
Ay, in the temple, in the town, the field, You do me mischief. Fie, Demetrius! Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: We cannot fight for love, as men ay do; We should be woo'd, and were not made to woo. I'll follow thee, and make a heaven of hell, To die upon the hand I love so well. (William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream") >> More William Shakespeare 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...
