In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.

Love is the invention of a few high cultures ... it is cultural artifact. To make love the requirement of a lifelong marriage is exceedingly difficult, and only a few people can achieve it. I don't believe in setting universal standards that a large proportion of people can't reach.

In love there are two things: bodies and words.

To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.

There is only one way to be happy by means of the heart-to have none.

When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

On the whole, love comes with the speed of light; separation, with that of sound.

O Lyric Love, half angel and half bird, And all a wonder and a wild desire.

Eternal Love doth keep In his complacent arms, the earth, the air, the deep.

Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look brighter when we come.
