quotations about love

Love subdues everything, except the felon heart.
FRENCH PROVERB
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

You know, I think everybody longs to be loved, and longs to know that he or she is lovable. And, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they're loved and capable of loving.

To joy and sorrow, and the recompense
For all the ills that have been, or may be.

Needs its sacrifices

And pay for their vices

My lonely soul brothers
But their spirits shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
