"Why have you been staring at me ever since we met? Because I’m not the Gail Wynand you’d heard about. You see, I love you. And love is exception-making. If you were in love you’d want to be broken, trampled, ordered, dominated, because that’s the impossible, in the inconceivable for you in your relations with people. That would be the one gift, the great exception you’d want to offer the man you loved. But it wouldn’t be easy for you."
"Love is a disease – ultimately you get sick of each other"
"Love is an emotion which does not die it disappears."
"There is no season and no reason for love. Love is not seasonal its perennial."
"Love is beautiful, A beautiful deception. One falls in it To deceive the other"
"Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love."
"Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire. That somehow distances us from actually taking part fully with the reality we do have, and that creates suffering. For me, the thing that I love is that it's all about the present moment."
"Human beings are very complex creatures. This desire, this greed, this love is very complex."
"The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: "I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love." But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get."
"Love is co-operation rather than competition."
"Love is sublime, truly, a precious gift. But also, alas, one of God's little pranks. It's naive of you to confuse love with happiness, as if they were somehow the samae thing. In fact love, once found, is more akin to gravity: too strong, too close, and it will crush you. Unless you're careful, always."
"Love is based on inequality as friendship is on equality."
"I know, although when looks meet I tremble to the bone, The more I leave the door unlatched The sooner love is gone."
"Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches! If your love were-" "I don't understand that first one yet," Buttercup interrupted. She was starting to get very excited now. "Let me get this straight. Are you saying my love is a grain of sand and yours is this other thing? Images confuse me so - is this universal business of yours bigger than my sand? Help me, Westley. I have the feeling we're on the verge of something just terribly important."
"Besides, our nearness to the King in love Is near the hate of those love not the King."
"Self-love is the most inhibited sin in the canon."
"O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy, In measure rain thy joy, scant this excess!"
"An earnest conjuration from the King, As England was his faithful tributary, As love between them like the palm might flourish, As peace should still her wheaten garland wear And stand a comma 'tween their amities, And many such-like as's of great charge, That, on the view and knowing of these contents, Without debatement further, more or less, He should the bearers put to sudden death, Not shriving time allow'd."
"The one I love is the son of the one I hate! -Juliet p. 75"
