Love

Love can instill the great joy or crushing sadness within an individual. There is really no way to fully explain the phenomenon of love. Sometimes love can bring us to a loss for words, and sometimes there’s no denying that others describe it better.

Some of the greatest philosophers have tried to effectively sum up the myriad of emotions that love involves. The fact that love is an emotion that everyone experiences, there is needless to say.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
-Plato
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
-Robert Frost
If you have it [Love], you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have.
-Sir James M. Barrie
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
-Henry Louis Mencken
Love is a friendship set to music.
-E. Joseph Cossman
True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.
-Erich Segal
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.
-Voltaire
They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.
-William Shakespeare
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
-Lord Byron
