The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness.  Victor Hugo quotes
Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about. Tori Amos quotes We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh. Agnes Repplier quotes A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar. Lao Tzu quotes It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship. Henry Ward Beecher quotes The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved. Mother Teresa of Calcutta quotes We can do no great things; only small things with great love. Mother Teresa of Calcutta quotes In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. Orson Welles quotes If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. Thich Nhat Hanh quotes The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident. Hugh Walpole, Sr. quotes |
