Love Quotes

"When ladies as young, and good, and beautiful as you are," replied the girl steadily, "give away your hearts, love will carry you all lengths--even such as you, who have home, friends, other admirers, everything, to fill them. When such as I, who have no certain roof but the coffin lid, and no friend in sickness or death but the hospital nurse, set our rotten hearts on any man, and let him fill the place that has been a blank through all our wretched lives, who can hope to cure us?" ~ Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens "The persons on whom I have bestowed my dearest love, lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, I have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up, forever, on my best affections. Deep affliction has but strengthened and refined them." ~ Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens "We are all born for love," said Morley. "It is the principle of existence, and its only end." ~ Sybil by Benjamin Disraeli "By love I mean the forgetfulness of self. Unions are frequent in which only the sexual instincts, or the remembrance of self, are roused---" ~ Fraternity by John Galsworthy Give me some music- music, moody food
Of us that trade in love. ~ Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare There's beggary in the love that can be reckon'd. ~ Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare A marvellous speeder-up of Love is War. What might have taken six months, was thus accomplished in three weeks. ~ Saint's Progress by John Galsworthy The praise that comes of love does not make us vain, but humble rather. Knowing what we are, the pride that shines in our mother's eyes as she looks at us is about the most pathetic thing a man has to face, but he would be a devil altogether if it did not burn some of the sin out of him. ~ The Little Minister by James M. Barrie Miss Mills replied, on general principles, that the Cottage of content was better than the Palace of cold splendour, and that where love was, all was. ~ David Copperfield by Charles Dickens If I may so express it, I was steeped in Dora. I was not merely over head and ears in love with her, but I was saturated through and through. Enough love might have been wrung out of me, metaphorically speaking, to drown anybody in; and yet there would have remained enough within me, and all over me, to pervade my entire existence. ~ David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
