Love gratified is love satisfied, and love satisfied is indifference begun.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The gratification of desire is not happiness.
Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
A man's love, till it has been chastened and fastened by the feeling of duty which marriage brings with it, is instigated mainly by the difficulty of pursuit.
Passion is momentary; love is enduring.
Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.
The more the heart is sated with joy, the more it becomes insatiable.
The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice.
