We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. – Goethe In short, there are three things that last: faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is Love. – St. Paul Love makes those young whom age doth chill, and whom he finds young keeps young still. – William Cartwright Love is the last word. – Aldous Huxley Love is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity. – Helen Hayes What wondrous love is this, O, my soul! While millions join in the theme, I will sing! – from “Wondrous Love,” a noble folk melody of unknown origin Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds… Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the Edge of Doom. If this be Error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. – William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116 Love is life, love is the lamp that lights the universe without that light this goodly frame, the earth is a barren promontory and man the quintessence of dust. – Mary Elizabeth Braddon Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are. – John Dryden All of life is divided into three parts: the premonition of love, the action of love, and the recollection of love. – Marina Tsvetaeva Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great. – Comte Debussy-Rabutin To be loved, be lovable. – Ovid I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine. Many waters cannot quench the flame of love. Neither can the floods drown it. If a man tried to buy it with everything he owned, he couldn’t do it. – Song of Solomon, 6:3 & 8:7 Love conquers all, let us too yield to love. – Virgil Love to love calleth, love unto love replieth – from the ends of the earth, drawn by invisible bands, over the dawning and darkening land. Love cometh to love. – Robert BridgesLove is love’s reward. – John Dryden The heart has its reason which reason cannot know. – Pascal For love is stronger than death. – Song of Songs, VIII-6 LOVE: All who joy would win must share it, happiness was born a twin. – Lord Byron, Don Juan God has given to each of us a spirit with wings on which to soar into the spacious firmament of Love and Freedom. – Kahlil Gibran How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. – Elisabeth Barrett Browning As the Baal Shem Tov said: From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being. – Psalm 100 Love consists in this: that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. – Rainer Maria Rilke Whenever two people begin to write their lives’ poems on a single leaf of hammered paper, the angels sing. – James R. Scher Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. – Kahlil Gibran When the one man loves the one woman and the one woman loves the one man, the angels abandon heaven and go sit in that house and sing for joy. – Hindu Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of seeing each other as a whole. – Rainer Maria Rilke May your love cast out small fears. May your hope endure. May your faith in each other and in this radiant universe grow and flourish. Amen. – David Johnson The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. – Helen Keller Not sure if any of these are the one you were looking for (the Anne Lindbergh quote), but here’s a few I found: To a person in love, the value of an individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission. Him that I love, I wish to be free – even from me. Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish. Love is a force…. It is not a result; it is a cause. It is not a product; it produces. There is no harvest of love for the heart alone; the seed of love must be eternally resown.
