Quote

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Love is not a union merely between two creatures, it is a union between two spirits.

Lovers often invest their first meetings with retrospective significance, as if to try to conjure the elements of the numinous out of the stubborn witness of the everyday.

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.

The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.

At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone.

Pity the selfishness of lovers: it is brief, a forlorn hope; it is impossible.

The reason that lovers never weary each other is because they are always talking about themselves.

In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
