Love Stinks

“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.”

“To love you was pleasant enough. And, oh! ’tis delicious to hate you!”

“To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.”

“It is best to love wisely, no doubt;
but to love foolishly is better than
not to be able to love at all.”

“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”

“The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.”

“Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us
discover this truth at the end of a love
affair or else when the sweet emotions
of love lead us into marriage
and then turn down their flames.”

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, nor quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and its endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.
