The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love.
James Baldwin – Love
Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.
Hannah Arendt – Love
Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is.
Diane Ackerman – Love
The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. We cannot force love.
William Hazlitt
For what is love itself, for the one we love best? An enfolding of immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love.
George Eliot
If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity
Jean Baudrillard
When you’re a teenager and you’re in love, it’s obvious to everyone but you and the person you’re in love with.
John Scalzi
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Kahlil Gibran
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
Washington Irving
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert Heinlein
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
Charles Dickens
A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.
William Butler Yeats
We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love, never so forlornly unhappy as when we have lost our love object or its love.
Sigmund Freud
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved – loved for ourselves, rather loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Love is ever the beginning of knowledge as fire is of light.
