True Love Quotes and Quotations
 True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.  True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. All kings, and all their favourites, All glory of honours, beauties, wits, The sun itself, which makes time, as they pass, Is elder by a year now than it was When thou and I first one another saw. All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay; This no to-morrow hath, nor yesterday; Running it never runs from us away, But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. True love brings up everything you're allowing a mirror to be held up to you daily. Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain. The course of true love never did run smooth. True love is night jasmine, a diamond in darkness, the heartbeat no cardiologist has ever heard. It is the most common of miracles, fashioned of fleecy clouds a handful of stars tossed into the night sky. Some love lasts a lifetime. True love lasts forever. What the heart gives away is never gone.... It is kept in the hearts of others. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao-Tzu Love me without fear Trust me without questioning Need me without demanding Want me without restrictions Accept me without change Desire me without inhibitions For a love so free . . . Will never fly away. The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. A romp in the hay lingers like the first line of a song, but your true love is the one you make a life with and write more than a line about, you write a whole book. The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. I love thee, I love but thee With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold And the stars grow old. True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly; It liveth not in fierce desire. To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. The truth [is] that there is only one terminal dignity—love. And the story of a love is not important—what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity. Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love. The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called love. True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Love conquers all. - Virgil True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
