Love Stinks

“Nothing spoils the taste of peanut butter like unrequited love.”

“Loving can cost a lot but not loving always
costs more, and those who fear to love often
find that want of love is an emptiness that robs
the joy from life.”

“I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year.”

“Without love our life is … a ship without a rudder …
like a body without a soul.”

“Your absence has not taught
me to be alone, it merely has
shown that when together we
cast a single shadow on the wall.”

“Parting is all we know of heaven.
And all we need of hell.”

“Where you used to be,
there’s a hole in the world,
which I find myself constantly
walking around in the daytime,
and falling into at night. I miss
you like hell.”

“To love is to suffer, to be loved is to cause suffering.”

“It is seldom indeed that one parts on good terms, because
if one were on good terms one would not part.”

“Come back to me in dreams; that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.”

“Remembered and afar
I watched you as I watched a star,
Through darkness struggling into view
And I love you better than you knew.”

“By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying—
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.”

“The greatest hate springs from the greatest love.”
