Romantic Love

We love the things we love for what they are.

in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

A rose without thorns is like love without heartbreak; it doesn't make sense.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.

If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.

Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it.

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.

The law of love could be best understood and learned through little children.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.

Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.

A promise to love someone forever, then, means, 'As long as I love you I will render unto you the actions of love; if I no longer love you, you will continue to receive the same actions from me, if for other motives.' Thus the illusion remains in the minds of one's fellow men that the love is unchanged and still the same.

Love's cruel notion. - Every great love brings with it the cruel idea of killing the object of that love, so that he may be removed once and for all from the wicked game of change: for love dreads change more than it does destruction.
