Famous Quotes & Sayings

Jean-Paul Sartre

We do not judge the people we love.

Georges Courteline

It is very hard to be in love with someone who no longer loves you, but it is far worse to be loved by someone with whom you are no longer in love.

Georges Bizet

Love is rebellious bird that nobody can tame, and it's all in vain to call it if it chooses to refuse.

Georges Clemenceau

The best time of love, is when one goes up the stairs.

Georges Bernanos

I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don't despise it. But it can't quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it.

George Weinberg

All love is original, no matter how many other people have loved before.

Georges Bataille

Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.

Georges Bataille

Naturally, love's the most distant possibility.

Georges Bataille

Incredible nervous state, trepidation beyond words: to be this much in love is to be sick (and I love to be sick).

George Will

She is so totally absorbed in a vocation - both a gift and a mastering passion - that she has no time to be absorbed with the self's worries about itself. And that is the moral of the story: You can pursue happiness by wearing a torn jersey. You can catch it by being good at something you love.

George Sand

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

George Sand

Where love is absent there can be no woman.

George Sand

If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.

George Sand

Not to love is to cease to live.

George Sand

Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.

George Sand

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

George S. Patton

Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.

George Saunders

In a story, for example, you'll start off with a character who is a little bit of a cartoon. That's not satisfying and you start revising. And as you revise you always are making it better by being specific and by observing more closely, which actually is really the same as saying you love your characters. The close observation equals love of them.

Jenna Fischer

I also love horror movies; I like me a big Peter Berg action movie. I'm a movie lover in general.

What is it about possessing things? Why do we feel the need to own what we love, and why do we become jerks when we do? We've all been there- you want something, to possess it. By possessing something you lose it. You finally win the girl of your dreams, the first thing you do is change her. The little things she does with her hair, the way she wears her clothes or the way she chews her gum. Pretty soon what you like, what you changed, what you don't like, blends together like a watercolor in the rain.

Jean Racine

The quarrels of lovers are the renewal of love.

Jean Racine

None love, but they who wish to love.

Jean Racine

Love is not dumb. The heart speaks many ways.

Jean Paul

Universal love is a glove without fingers, which fits all bands alike and none closely; but true affection is like a glove with fingers, which fits one hand only, and sits close to that one.

Jean Paul

In women everything is heart, even the head.

Jean Paul

A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.

Jean Paul

Paradise is always where love dwells.

Jim Henson

Only time can heal your broken heart. Just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.

Jim Harrison

I like grit, I like love and death, I'm tired of irony. ... A lot of good fiction is sentimental. ... The novelist who refuses sentiment refuses the full spectrum of human behavior, and then he just dries up. ... I would rather give full vent to all human loves and disappointments, and take a chance on being corny, than die a smartass.

Jerry Spinelli

Love is big. Love makes room for conflicting feelings.

Jerry Spinelli

And the more you love someone, the safer it is to be mad at them. Love can handle mad, no problem.

Jerry Seinfeld

Magazines are another medium I love, because 95% is simply based on 'How the hell are we going to fill all this blank space?

Jerry Seinfeld

Being a good husband is like being a good stand-up comic - you need ten years before you can even call yourself a beginner.
