Quotes About Love

Whatever desire or even illusion I may have had to the contrary, perhaps I have not been adequate to what she offered me. But what was she offering me? It does not matter. Only love in the sense I understand it–mysterious, improbable, unique, bewildering, and certain love that can only be foolproof , might have permitted the fulfillment of a miracle.

All I know is that this substitution of persons stops with you, because nothing can be substituted for you, and because for me it was for all eternity that this succession of terrible or charming enigmas was to come to an end at your feet. You are not an enigma for me. I say that you have turned me from enigmas forever.

I see beauty as I have seen you. As I have seen what, at the given hour and for a given time which I hope and with all my soul believe may recur, granted you to me. Beauty is like a train that ceaselessly roars out of the Gare de Lyon and which I know will never leave, which has not left.

L'amour réciproque, tel que je l'envisage, est un dispositif de miroirs qui me renvoient, sous les mille angles que peut prendre pour moi l'inconnu, l'image fidèle de celle que j'aime, toujours plus surprenante de divination de mon propre désir et plus dorée de vie.

Aunque haya podido desearlo, aunque quizás también haya podido ilusionarme con ello, quizás no estuve a la altura de lo que ella me proponía. Pero ¿qué me proponía? Poco importa.

Avant de te connaître, j'avais rencontré le malheur, le désespoir. Avant de te connaître, allons donc, ces mots n'ont pas de sens. Tu sais bien qu'en te voyant la première fois, c'est sans la moindre hésitation que je t'ai reconnue.

Je ne nie pas que l'amour ait maille à partir avec la vie. Je dis qu'il doit vaincre et pour cela s'être élevé à une telle conscience poétique de lui-même que tout ce qu'il rencontre nécessairement d'hostile se fonde au foyer de sa propre gloire.

Les hommes désespèrent stupidement de l'amour - j'en ai désespéré - ils vivent asservis à cette idée que l'amour est toujours derrière eux, jamais devant eux : les siècles passés, le mensonge de l'oubli à vingt ans. Ils supportent, ils s'aguerrissent à admettre surtout que l'amour ne soit pas pour eux, avec son cortège de clartés, ce regard sur le monde qui est fait de tous les yeux de devins.

Menos aún amarse sin oponerse a todo lo que no es amor

Los libros no valen más que en la medida en que nos enseñan a amar

Love must be kind, and it must be a two-way street. Loyalty between two persons in an alliance of true friendship is a noble human endeavor. In true friendship, a human being finds strength. Good times or bad; the highest peak or the lowest valley in one's life.

On holidays, I cave in to the memory of love, and associate desserts and eating with the love I experienced at my grandmother's table. She was a great cook, and sweets crowded the side console cabinet during Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have no answer as to how to overcome this. I will try until I die, every day. Just keep trying to be well. Enough said.

The really important thing I've realized in the last year is that if we truly love we mustn't attach too much importance to the things that the people we love do. We need them; they alone mean we can live in a particular 'atmosphere' (your friend Helene calls it a 'climate' and that's exactly right) that we can't get by without. So long as we can keep them, hold on to them good God, what does the rest matter?
