He who bends to himself a Joy
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the Joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise.
Blake, William
A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through
her ears. Woodrow Wyatt (b. 1918), British journalist. To the Point,
"The Ears Have It" (1981).
Wyatt's reasoning, apropos of women, was that "what is said
to them and what they believe about a man's status
is usually more important than the superficiality of good looks."
Love is an obsessive delusion that is cured by
marriage.
Dr. Karl Bowman
Love is the delusion that one woman differs from
another.
H. L. Mencken
To the world you may be one person, but to one
person you may be the world.
Unknown
I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common
man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There
are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be
forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,
and to me, this has always been enough.
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it
comes late in life.
Lord Byron
If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her
above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be
yours.
Charles Caleb Colton
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning
a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light
and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our
love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
~Bruce Lee
We always know what it is that we need from others. We often know quickly what others want from us. But finding out what it is that others may subtly make us feel we require from them (and which eventually makes us dependent upon them) is not so obvious. Love is not part of a transaction. It is the most PRIVATE thing there is or can be, in the full sense of that word. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, and don't continue deluding yourself. Forget what the priests have said, and mummy and daddy, and all those without a clue who, in their egregious error, have made the world what it is today. You won't get it from the girl or the boy, the man or the woman, or from Jesus, or Allah. So stop looking for it in where it is not to be found! Realize that this very looking and seeking arises because of its absence within. The deer smells the tree bark for the musk produced by its own glands. You could laugh at that paradox. There is a greater madness abroad: Men looking for love from a stranger, for that which only his own heart and mind can produce. This is the secret of man's delirium????
