She didn't mean to be sexy that moment, but even a winter nightgown couldn't hide that lovely outline. When will I outgrow my simple-minded fascination with the form she had happened to choose for her body? Never, I thought

Saint Augustine

Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face. This alone I know, that without you all to me is misery, woe outside myself and woe within, and all wealth but penury, if it is not my God.

Saint Augustine

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

Saint Augustine

God's love is unconditional. Be sure that yours is too!

Umberto Eco

He who falls in love in bars doesn't need a woman all his own. He can always find one on loan.

Umberto Eco

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.

Umberto Eco

The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing that the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited: but with irony, not innocently. I think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows he cannot say to her, I love you madly, because he knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these words have already been written by Barbara Cartland. Still, there is a solution. He can say, As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly.

Umberto Eco

Love is wiser than wisdom.

Umberto Eco

What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. Therefore, unless you have those weapons that subdue it, the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss.

Umberto Eco

Absence is to love as wind is to fire: it extinguishes the little flame, it fans the big.

Tyler Oakley

I hope you learn to love yourself for who you are and what you look like, and how you were born to be, because you are perfect in your own way.

Tyler Perry

Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life.

Trudi Canavan

Akkarin: I watched the first woman I loved die. I dont think I can survive losing the second. Sonea: I love you too.

Truman Capote

The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface: and why not? Any love is natural and beautiful that lies within a person's nature; only hypocrites would hold a man responsible for what he loves, emotional illiterates and those of righteous envy, who, in their agitated concern, mistake so frequently the arrow pointing to heaven for the one that leads to hell.

Troye Sivan

I genuinely love you all and the fact that some of you are not feeling so great at the moment really really upsets me.

Troye Sivan

I love you as much as I love Nutella.

Truman Capote

[L]ove, having no geography, knows no boundaries.

Truman Capote

You're wonderful. Unique. I love you.

Truman Capote

Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.

Truman Capote

He loved her, he loved her, and until he'd loved her she had never minded being alone....

Truman Capote

If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.

Truman Capote

The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.

Truman Capote

Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
