When we love animals and children too much, we love them at the expense of men.

Jean-Paul Sartre

In love, one and one are one.

Jean-Paul Sartre

It answers the question that was tormenting you: my love, you are not 'one thing in my life' - not even the most important - because my life no longer belongs to me because...you are always me.

Jean-Paul Sartre

We do not judge the people we love.

Georges Courteline

It is very hard to be in love with someone who no longer loves you, but it is far worse to be loved by someone with whom you are no longer in love.

Georges Bernanos

I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don't despise it. But it can't quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it.

George Weinberg

All love is original, no matter how many other people have loved before.

Georges Bataille

Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.

Georges Bataille

Naturally, love's the most distant possibility.

George Will

She is so totally absorbed in a vocation - both a gift and a mastering passion - that she has no time to be absorbed with the self's worries about itself. And that is the moral of the story: You can pursue happiness by wearing a torn jersey. You can catch it by being good at something you love.

George Sand

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

George Sand

Where love is absent there can be no woman.

George Sand

If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.

George Sand

Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.

George S. Patton

Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.

George Saunders

In a story, for example, you'll start off with a character who is a little bit of a cartoon. That's not satisfying and you start revising. And as you revise you always are making it better by being specific and by observing more closely, which actually is really the same as saying you love your characters. The close observation equals love of them.

What is it about possessing things? Why do we feel the need to own what we love, and why do we become jerks when we do? We've all been there- you want something, to possess it. By possessing something you lose it. You finally win the girl of your dreams, the first thing you do is change her. The little things she does with her hair, the way she wears her clothes or the way she chews her gum. Pretty soon what you like, what you changed, what you don't like, blends together like a watercolor in the rain.

Jean Racine

The quarrels of lovers are the renewal of love.

Jean Racine

None love, but they who wish to love.

Jean Racine

Love is not dumb. The heart speaks many ways.

Tullian Tchividjian

Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.

Friedrich Nietzsche

You know these things as thoughts, but your thoughts are not your experiences, they are an echo and after-effect of your experiences: as when your room trembles whe na carriage goes past. I however am sitting in the carriage, and often I am the carriage itself. Ina man who thinks like this, the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, intellect and passion, has really disappeared. He feels his thoughts. He can fall in love with an idea. An idea can make him ill.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

Friedrich Nietzsche

This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Then is what you see through this window onto the world so lovely that you have no desire whatsoever to look out through any other window, and that you even make an attempt to prevent others from doing so?

Friedrich Nietzsche

To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Loving and perishing: it's been a rhyme all these eternities. The will to love: that is, also being willing to die.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.

Friedrich Nietzsche

What is it that you love in others?--My hopes.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Just as soon as we notice that someone has to force himself to pay attention when dealing and talking with us, we have a valid demonstration that he does not love us or that he does not love us anymore.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The apprentice and the master love the master in different ways.
