Love is that orbit of the restless soul
Whose circle grazes the confines of space,
Bounding within the limits of its race
Utmost extremes.
Sonnet

“I love you because You’re a sweet little fool!”
The sweet little Fool

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.
Solemnization of Matrimony.

To love, cherish, and to obey.
Solemnization of Matrimony

He was my North, my South, my East and West, / My working week and my Sunday rest, / My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; / I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

W H Auden

The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.

James Baldwin

If you haven’t had at least a slight poetic crack in the heart, you have been cheated by nature.

Phyllis Battelle

Flowers are Love’s truest language.
Sonnet.

A broken heart is what makes life so wonderful five years later, when you see the guy in an elevator and he is fat and smoking a cigar and saying long-time-no-see.

Phyllis Battelle

For years [my wedding ring] has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it’s time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.
Erma Bombeck

A Frenchwoman, when double-crossed, will kill her rival; the Italian woman would rather kill her deceitful lover; the Englishwoman simply breaks off relations—but they all will console themselves with another man.
Charles Boyer

I might run from her for a thousand years and she is still my baby child…. Our love is so furious that we burn each other out.
Richard Burton

Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.

Marc Chagall

You say that love is nonsense….I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one’s nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength
Adams, Henry Brooks

Never let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you…
Adams, Joey Lauren

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart
-Antoninus, Marcus Aelius Aurelius
