Love is one of those subjects that everyone thinks about. If you are looking for wisdom or subtle guidance, it often pays to read up on what others have said on the subject.
The following quotes are both unique and universal. They are universal in that all the authors believe in love. They are unique, however, in that the authors come from such divergent points on the subject. Enjoy the quotes and consider who is saying them and when.
Albert Einstein - How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Lord Byron - Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Helen Keller - The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.
Rose Franken - Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.
Jonathan Carroll - You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.
Ayn Rand - If one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others.
Mother Teresa - If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Winnie the Pooh - If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.
Mozart - Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Jeanne Moreau - Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.
Douglas Yates - People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.
Montaigne - If I am pressed to say why I loved him, I feel it can only be explained by replying: "Because it was he; because it was me."
Jean Anouilh - There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Joan Crawford - Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.
Rabindranath Tagore - I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.
Margaret Mitchell - I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
Samuel Butler - It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.
We live and we love. It doesn't matter if we are famous or non-descript. It doesn't matter if we are rich or poor. In the end, love makes us richer than any coins ever could.
