crazy love-is crazy-love
Yes, it's crazy. Love is either crazy or it's nothing at all.
love peace nature
Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.
love-is definitions definition-of-love
Love is a continual interrogation. I don’t know of a better definition of love.
love-is desire half
Love is a desire for that lost half of ourselves.
love-is ends true-love-is
At the end of true love is death, and only the love that ends in death is love.
love-is half unbearable
Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.
love two numbers
You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.
love sleep passion
Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).
love strong eternity
I have a strong will to love you for eternity.
love-is men voice
Tereza knew what happens during the moment love is born: the woman cannot resist the voice calling forth her terrified soul; the man cannot resist the woman whose soul thus responds to his voice.
love inspirational relationship
We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions - love, antipathy, charity, or malice - and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals.
lying love-is use
If excitement is a mechanism our Creator uses for His own amusement, love is something that belongs to us alone and enables us to flee the Creator. Love is our freedom. Love lies beyond "Es Muss sein!
love-is men emotional
The psychological and physiological mechanism of love is so complex that at a certain period in his life a young man must concentrate all his energy on coming to grips with it, and in this way he misses the actual content of the love: the woman he loves. (In this he is much like a young violinist who cannot concentrate on the emotional content of a piece until the technique required to play it comes automatically.)
love asking demand
Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.
