Saint-Exupery, Antoine de
True love is visible not to the eyes but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived.
("The Little Prince")
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but
in looking outward together in the same direction.
To love is not to look at one another,
but to look together in the same direction.
Santillana, Marques de
Love and you will be loved,
and you will be able
to do all that you
could not do unloved.
Santos, Len
Letting go has never been easy, but holding on can be as difficult.
Yet strength is measured not by holding on, but by letting go.
Sarmiento, Aissa Amor A.
Marriage is not living with the person you love, but living with the
person you can't live without.
Schikaneder, Emanuel
Let's enjoy love: without it we cannot live.
What an annoying mad thing love is!
Schmidt, Kyle
I have said nothing because there is nothing I can say that would describe how I feel as perfectly as you deserve it.
Shain, Merle
Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life.
Shakespeare, William
What I have done is yours; what I have to do is yours; being part in all I have, devoted yours.
(dedication)
The course of true love never did run smooth.
Mine ear is enamoured by thy note;
So is mine eye enthralled by thy shape;
and thy fair virtues force perforce doth move me;
to say, to swear, i love thee.
No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no
sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one
another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the
remedy.
Journeys end in lovers meeting.
(Twelfth Night, Scene 3)
Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Doubt that the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
("Hamlet")
Beauty provokes thieves sooner than gold.
Sonnets (1-79)
Sonnets (80-154)
Shaw, Bernard
It is assumed that the woman must wait, motionless, until she is wooed.
That is how the spider waits for the fly.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle. . . . .
See! The mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea. . . . .
Spenser, Edmund
Gather therefore the rose, whilst yet is prime.
For soon comes age, that will her pride deflower.
Fresh spring the
herald of love's mighty king.
One day I wrote her name upon the sand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again, I wrote it with a second hand;
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she that dost in vain assay,
A mortal thing so to immortalize.
Ah! when will this long weary day have end,
And lend me leave to come unto my love?
And all for love, and nothing for reward.
Her angel's face,
As the great eye of heaven shined bright,
And made a sunshine in the shady place.
Swinburne, A.C.
There is no safety-net to protect against attraction.
There lived a singer in France of old
By the tideless dolorous midland sea.
In a land of sand and rain and gold
There shone one woman, and none but she.
