Love Quotes from Literature

"God's law is only Love." ~ A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde "Who, being loved, is poor?" ~ A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde I could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me. ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte I ask you to pass through life at my side—to be my second self, and best earthly companion. ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage. ~ Phineas Redux by Anthony Trollope Love is involuntary. It does not often run in a yoke with prudence. ~ Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope It is easy to love one's enemy when one is making fine speeches; but so difficult to do so in the actual everyday work of life. ~ Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same. ~ A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin "Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones who've never felt it. They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, contempt and general indifference, and they call it love. Once you've felt what it means to love as you and I know it--the total passion for the total height--you're incapable of anything less." ~ The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person. ~ Emma by Jane Austen
