Famous Quotes & Sayings

Ovid

Love's dominion, like a kings, admits of no partition.

Oscar Hammerstein II

Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?

When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else. He'd trade the world for the good thing he's found.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Woe is me! The winged words on which my soul would pierce Into the heights of love's rare universe, Are chains of lead around its flight of fire-- I pant, I sink, I tremble, I expire.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Heaven's ebon vault Studded with stars unutterably bright, Through which the moon's unclouded grandeur rolls, Seems like a canopy which love has spread To curtain her sleeping world.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Familiar acts are beautiful through love.

Pauley Perrette

Love is for friends & pets...and family...only if they really love you as unconditionally as your friends and pets.

Paullina Simons

I love you. I'm blind for you, wild for you. Sick with you. I told you that our first night together when I asked you to marry me, I am telling you now. Everything that's happened to us, everything, is because I crossed the street for you. I worship you. You know that through and through...

Paullina Simons

Tatiana, I love you. Do you hear me? I love you like I’ve never loved anyone in my whole life. Now, get up. For me, Tatia. For me, please get up and go take care of your sister. Go on. And I’ll take care of you.” His lips kissed her cheek.

Paul Valery

Oh, hasten not this loving act, Rapture where self and not-self meet: My life has been the awaiting you, Your footfall was my own heart's beat.

Paul Valery

Love is being stupid together.

Paul Verlaine

Here are fruits, flowers, leaves and branches, and here is my heart which beats only for you.

Karen Armstrong

Saint Augustine ... insisted that scripture taught nothing but charity. Whatever the biblical author may have intended, any passage that seemed to preach hatred and was not conducive to love must be interpreted allegorically and made to speak of charity.

Joyce Meyer

Love is not talk or theory; it's action. In fact the Bible says that we cannot be walking in love if we see a brother in need, have what it takes to meet his need, and will not do anything to help him.

Katharine Whitehorn

I am all for people having their heart in the right place; but the right place for a heart is not inside the head.

Katharine Hepburn

Loved people are loving people.

Katharine Hepburn

You don't pick who you fall in love with. There are so few people to love. It's hard for one adult to even like another. Almost impossible.

Katharine Hepburn

Enemies are so stimulating.

Katharine Hepburn

Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

Katharine Hepburn

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

Katharine Hepburn

Love fattens on smooth words.

Katharine Hepburn

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Katharine Hepburn

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.

Katharine Hepburn

You give because you love and cannot help giving.

Katharine Hepburn

Few people know what they mean when they say, "I love you." ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.

Katharine Hepburn

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

Karen Maitland

You've heard tales of beauty and the beast. How a fair maid falls in love with a monster and sees the beauty of his soul beneath the hideous visage. But you've never heard the tale of the handsome man falling for the monstrous woman and finding joy in her love, because it doesn't happen, not even in a story-teller's tale.

Judith Wright

Love is a very important part of life, and you have to give in to it. But after a while it ceases to be such an important force in life, and that's the time when you should give in to age and stop doing it, if you don't have the impulse any more.

Judith Wright

That impulse I think is a form of love. Poetry is something that comes to you, rather than your having to work out its form beforehand.

Judith Viorst

Being in love is better than being in jail, a dentist's chair, or a holding pattern over Philadelphia, but not if he doesn't love you back.

George MacDonald

Her heart - like every heart, if only its fallen sides were cleared away - was an inexhaustible fountain of love: she loved everything she saw.

George Lois

Follow your bliss. That which you love you must spend your life doing, as passionately and as perfectly as your heart, mind and instincts allow. The sooner you identify that bliss, which surely resides in the soul of most human beings, the greater your chance of a truly successful life. In the act of creativity, being careful guarantees sameness and mediocrity, which means your work will be invisible. Better to be reckless than careful. Better to be bold than safe. Better to have your work seen and remembered, or you've struck out. There is no middle ground.
