Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding. Davis, Bette
Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives. Russell, Bertrand
Love is space and time measured by the heart. Proust, Marcel
Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all. This idea that love overtakes you is nonsense. This is but a polite manifestation of sex. To love another you have to undertake some fragment of their destiny. Crisp, Quentin
Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old. Ciardi, John
Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one’s ownself. Fromm, Erich
Love is very real, you will find it someday, but it has one enemy-and that’s life. Unknown

Love lessens a woman’s delicacy and increases a man’s. La Bruyere, Jean
Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel. Corneille, Pierre
