In honour of Valentines Day I think we should share some quotes about love!
I know you got 'em!
Let’s see them!
“You are, at once, both the quiet and confusion of my heart.” Franz Kafka
“We love because it’s the only true adventure.”
Nothing better than a little ee cummings.
Except maybe these guys. Inspired by the thread title . . .
Naaaaah – Homer and Jethro
OK -- I'm a glass half empty type, but its still about love.Life is one thing after another, love is 2 things after each other - don’t remember who said it
At the Last Supper, Jesus put a towel around His waist, like the lowest servant, and went around washing the feet of His disciples. When He came to Peter, Peter said, “Lord, you will never wash my feet.” And Jesus said, “If I don’t wash your feet, you will have no part of me.”
And Peter said, “Then not only my feet, but also my hands, and my head.”

Look… there’s nothing you can do that can’t be done…
“Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.” – HL Mencken
“Love is that delightful period between meeting a girl and discovering she looks like a haddock.” – John Barrymore
"But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams."
This was originally in Portuguese, but it’s just as beautiful in English.
“Only love lasts, with its immutable flame,
Like the embers that remain after a great fire.”
Irish proverb:
“Níl aon leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh.”
“The only cure for love is marriage.”
And, a somewhat more prosaic, but wonderfully evocative one:
“Is uaigneach an níochán nach mbíonn léine ann.”
“It is a lonely washing that has no man’s shirt in it.”
Speaking of poetry translated from Portuguese, there’s Sonnets from the Portuguese (which actually aren’t.)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
“Love letters, broken lockets,
Dead flowers, candy boxes,
That’s what you’re left with when it’s over.”
–Cub, Main and Broadway
When I hear “love, love, love” I think more along the lines of this than the Beatles.
…
Lemme graze into your veldt,
Lemme stomple your albino,
Lemme nibble on your buds,
I’m your love rhino.
“Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.” - Matt Groening in Love is Hell
