Love, Love Nothing But Love - Casey Sinha
Introduction
For millenia, love
has been pondered and written about. What can be said about this elusive love
? It is complex, conjuring at once many sentiments: romantic, tragic, bittersweet, scornful... It is transcendent, occupying hearts and minds spanning time and geographic boundaries. And it is boundless. The great 'Bard' William Shakespeare himself wrote the immortal lines Love, love, nothing but love, still more...
.
What follows is a selection of hundreds of lively quotations from the works of great authors and poets of the world about love
.

Mysterious love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more of pain or pleasure . . .
Endless torments dwell about thee;
Yet who would live, and live without thee!

Real love can not be confused.
It is quiet and can not be heard.

Which for most sovereign all the world prove.

To every captive soul and gentle heart
Unto whose sight may come the present word,
That they thereof to me their thoughts impart
Be greeting in Love’s name, who is their Lord.
Dante Alighieri (in The New Life, trans. by C. Eliot Norton) (Italy)
Romance cannot be put into quantity production –
the moment love becomes casual, it becomes commonplace.
Frederick Lewis Allen (in Only Yesterday) (U.S.)
Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart;
Girls aren’t like that.
Kingsley Amis (in A Bookshop Idyll) (U.K.)
Western wind, when will thou blow?
The small rain down can rain?
Christ, if my love were in my arms
And I in my bed again!

I know how pettiness ruins the greatest love.
Jean Anouilh (in L’Hermine) (France)
Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the
inbetween which relates us to and separates us from the other.
Hannah Arendt (in The Human Condition) (U.S.)
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle (Greece)
Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul, . . .
And meeting strangely at one sudden goal,
Then blend they,
. . . Into one beautiful perfect whole;
Edwin Arnold (in Somewhere There Waiteth) (U.K.)
Oh, listen! Love lasts! Love will never die.
Edwin Arnold (in She and He) (U.K.)
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Matthew Arnold (in Dover Beach) (U.K.)
Falling in love, we said; I fell for him.
We were falling women.
We believed in it, this downward motion so lovely,
like flying, and yet at the same time so dire, so extreme, so unlikely.
Margaret Atwood (in The Handmaid’s Tale) (Canada)
Nobody dies from lack of sex.
It’s lack of love we die from.

I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you
Till China and Africa meet
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street,
W. H. Auden (in As I Walked Out One Evening
) (U.K., U.S.)
To be loved, love.
Ausonius (in Epigrams) (Rome)
All the privilege I claim for my own sex . . . is that of loving longest, when existence or hope is gone.
Jane Austen (in Persuasion) (U.K.)
A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

Ever anew my heart aches!
Again and again I brush off the burning tears.
My love, once peaceful at my side, grows restless.
My heart aches!

Love can find entrance,
not only into an open heart,
but also into a heart well fortified,
watch be not well kept.
Francis Bacon (in Essays: Of Love) (U.K.)
Nuptial love maketh mankind;
friendly love perfecteth it;
but wanton love corrupteth and embaseth it.

P. J. Bailey (in Festus) (U.K.)
Ask not of me, love, what is love?

It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.

It is easier to be a lover than a husband, for the same reason that it is more difficult to show a ready wit all day long than to say a good thing occasionally.
Balzac (in The Physiology of Marriage) (France)
A lover tells a woman all that a husband hides from her.
Balzac (in The Physiology of Marriage) (France)

Where pleasure, pain, and sad repentance dwell.
Richard Barnfield (in The Shepherd’s Content) (U.K.)
My flocks feed not, my ewes breed not,
My rams speed not, all is amiss:
Love is denying, Faith is defying,
Heart’s renying, causer of this.

In love-making, as in the other arts, those do it best who cannot tell how it is done.

Dawn love is silver,
Wait for the west:
Old love is gold love –
Old love is best.
