We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo
It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not.
Andre Gide
Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass.
Euripides
We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
Albert Camus
To live is like love, all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Samuel Butler
No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread.
Robert Burton
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
Voltaire
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
William Shakespeare
