Love consists
not in feeling great things but in having great detachment
and in suffering for the Beloved.
-- St. John of the Cross
1542-1591, Spanish Christian
Mystic and Poet
Love is the
wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.
-- Samuel Johnson
1709-1784, British Author
Love doesn't
make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride
worthwhile.
-- Franklin P. Jones
Do you want me
to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything
it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical
about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for,
risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't
risk anything, you risk even more.
-- Erica Jong
1942-, American Author

Love
(understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so
unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself,
the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having
energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of
another's soul.
-- James Joyce
1882-1941, Irish Author
Love is as
much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it,
everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do
will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never...
never forget it.
-- Curtis Judalet
Where love
rules, there is no will to power; where power predominates,
there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
-- Carl Jung
1875-1961, Swiss Psychiatrist
Love in
marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream,
and not, as it too often is, the end.
-- Alphonse Karr
