I am of this mind, that both might and malice, deceit and treachery, all perjury, any impiety may lawfully be committed in love, which is lawless.

Love is simple to understand if you haven't got a mind soft and full of holes. It's a crutch, that's all, and there isn't a one of us doesn't need a crutch.

He who loves the more is the inferior and must suffer.

We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.

Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

Love is not always blind and there are few things that cause greater wretchedness than to love with all your heart someone who you know is unworthy of love.

The most disgusting cad in the world is the man who, on grounds of decorum and morality, avoids the game of love. He is one who puts his own ease and security above the most laudable of philanthropies.

He that would eat of love must eat it where it hangs.

In love, 'tis no other than frantic desire for that which flies from us.

Alas! how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love!
