Romantic Love
Carson McCullers
Love is a joint experience between two persons—but the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved. There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries. Often the beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored-up love which has lain quiet within the lover for a long time hitherto.

Oscar Wilde
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what world calls a romance.

James Baldwin
Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

Oscar Wilde
You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.

Pietro Aretino
I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.
