Love Quotes

Love, to her, was something that comes suddenly, like a blinding flash of lightning – a heaven – sent storm hurled into life, uprooting it, sweeping every will before it like a leaf, engulfing all feelings.[L’amour, croyait-elle, devait arriver tout à coup, avec de grands éclats et des fulgurations, – ouragan des cieux qui tombe sur la vie, la bouleverse, arrache les volontés comme des feuilles et emporte à l’abîme le coeur entier.]

Love – thou art deep –
I cannot cross thee –
But, were there Two
Instead of One –
Rower, and Yacht – some sovereign Summer –
Who knows – but we’d reach the Sun?

Love, dear, is in my eyes the first principle of all the virtues, conformed to the divine likeness. Like all other first principles, it is not a matter of arithmetic; it is the Infinite in us.[Mais, chère, l’amour est à mes yeux le principe de toutes les vertus rapportées à une image de la divinité! L’amour, comme tous les principes, ne se calcule pas, il est l’infini de notre âme.]

Love, as I conceive it, is a purely subjective poem. In all that books tell us about it, there is nothing which is not at once false and true.[L’amour est, je crois, un poème entièrement personnel. Il n’y a rien qui ne soit à la fois vrai et faux dans tout ce que les auteurs nous en écrivent.]

Love will find its way through paths where wolves would fear to prey.
