Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work. -Vincent Van Gogh

One is very crazy when in love. -Sigmund Freud

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. -Henry Van Dyke

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense. -Helen Rowland

Pleasant fragrances of the breezes of love blow from the lovers even thought they might conceal it. The effects of these breezes bear witness to them even if they disguise it and are apparent even if they hide it. -Abu Ali Katib

Love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two or more people to produce together conditions under which each can be and spontaneously express, his real self; to produce together an intellectual soil and an emotional climate in which each can flourish, far superior to what either could achieve alone. -Unknown

Love is merely madness... -William Shakespeare

True love is like a ghost; everyone talks of it, few have seen it. -La Rochefoucauld

But true love is a durable fire,
In the mind ever burning,
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning. -Sir Walter Raleigh

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand. -Mother Theresa

Love is the seed of all hope. It is the enticement to trust, to risk, to try, to go on. -Gloria Gaither

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. -H.L. Mencken
