Quotes About Love

There's an old mistake about the word love, and, if many children have been born of this mistake, countless others have missed their only instant of being born merely due to a susceptibility that demands you be mine, mine! that you like me, and not my money.
~ Clarice Lispector
Since the state of grace exists permanently: we are always saved. All the world is in a state of grace.
~ Clarice Lispector
Sometimes—sometimes we ourselves manifest the inexpressive—one does that in art, in bodily love as well—to manifest the inexpressive is to create. In the end we are so happy!

~ Clarice Lispector
Pido humildemente permiso para existir, imploro humildemente una alegría, una acción de gracias, pido que me permitan vivir con menos sufrimiento, pido para no ser tan puesta a prueba por las experiencias ásperas, pido a hombres y mujeres que me consideren un ser humano digno de algún amor y algún respeto. Pido la bendición de la vida.

Or had you no other means of capturing the grace of this creature except with a collar? Don't you realize that you destroy a rose if you crush it in your hand? I know that tone is unity which cannot be divided by words, I know that I am crushing a rose, but to shatter silence into words is one of my awkward ways of loving silence, & it is in this way that I have so often killed what I understand.

A vida se me é, e eu não entendo o que digo. E então adoro.

~ Clarice Lispector
A verdade não faz sentido, a grandeza do mundo me encolhe. Aquilo que provavelmente pedi e finalmente tive, veio, no entanto me deixar carente como uma criança que anda sozinha pela terra. Tão carente que só o amor de todo o universo por mim poderia me consolar e me cumular, só um tal amor que a própria célula-ovo das coisas vibrasse com o que estou chamando de um amor. Daquilo a que na verdade apenas chamo mas sem saber-lhe o nome.
~ Clarice Lispector
Parents care more than any institution about their children.

Missy could fall down and hurt herself, even if I'm walking right there beside her. That doesn't mean that I allowed it to happen. She knows, as far as unconditional love, I'll pick her up and I'll carry her. I'll try to heal her. I'll cry when she cries. And I'll rejoice when she is well. In all the moments of my life, God has been right there beside me. The truth of God's love is not that He allows bad things to happen. It's His promise that He'll be there with us when they do.
~ Unknown
Happiness is anyone and anything at all, that's loved by you.
~ Unknown
Happiness is singing together when day is through, and happiness is those who sing with you. Happiness is morning and evening, daytime and nighttime too...for happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you.
~ Unknown
Like our simian ancestors, we are born clinging to our mothers, and for the rest of our lives we will reenact that first embrace, reaching out for something to hold on to—both in moments of joy and in moments of distress.
~ Unknown

Love is the greatest Joy of Discovery one can feel!
~ Claude Bernard
At love's most intoxicating moment, I have enough freedom left to want to abandon it, for a moment, to other hands.
~ Unknown
Where? On the impalpable and the invisible. Nowhere. Not even necessarily in the place where my mistress happens to be, since I sometimes love her better absent than present.
~ Unknown
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,Stealing my breath of life, I must confessI love this cultured hell that tests my youth!Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,Giving me strength erect against her hate.Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
~ Claude McKay
