Love proverbs

◆ I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

- Neil Gaiman99

◆ To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

- C.S. Lewis99

◆ When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.

- Jess C. Scott99

◆ Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

- Ann Landers99

◆ Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

- Jim Morrison99

◆ Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

- Aristotle99

◆ A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

- Max Muller99

◆ Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you.

- Loretta Young99

◆ We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

◆ Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

- Barbara de Angelis99

◆ Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

- Franklin P. Jones99

◆ A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

- Honore de Balzac99

◆ The first duty of love is to listen.

- Paul Tillich99
