in, and those inside desperate to get out. - Montaigne

can't face each other, but still they stay together. -- Hemant Joshi

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and

suffering.

Marriage is not a word; it is a sentence.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second

marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when

they try to decide which one.

Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage,

the 'Y' becomes silent.

If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every

word you say, talk in your sleep.

Beauty is its own excuse for being.

You are but the loveliest thing of beauty God ever has shown to me,
Your voice, your hair, your eyes, the soft and gentle ways you are.

Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher indeed, than genius as it needs no explanation.

What's female beauty, but an air divine.
Thro' which the mind's all gentle graces shine?
They, like the sun, irradiates all between;
The body charms becausse the soul is seen.

Beautiful in form and feature,
Lovely as the day,
Can there be so fair a creature,
Formed of common ways?

"I mean, I like being attractive and popular, it's, like, me okay? So if Dr. Shar makes everybody else attractive and popular, then I'll have to be even more attractive just to keep up, and then if they, like, go back to her to catch up to me, then I'll have to go back and pretty soon it'll be, like, one of those vicious things! Where will it end, Daria? Where will it end?" -Quinn Morgendorfer in Daria

Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. They are but beggars that can count their worth, But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth. Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; When little fears grow great, great love grows there. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee The more I have, for both are infinite. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
*William Simms (1806-1870) American Author*	Love is but another name for that inscrutable presence by which the soul is connected with humanity.
*Sri Swami Sivananda (born 1887) Indian Physician and Sage*	Love expects no reward. Love knows no fear. Love Divine gives - does not demand. Love thinks no evil; imputes no motive. To Love is to share and serve.
*Germaine De Stael (1766-1817) French-Swiss Novelist*	Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. Love is the history of a woman's life; it is an episode in man's.

*Upanishads (c. B.C. 800) Hindu Poetic Dialogues on Metaphysics*	The little space within the heart is as great as this vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there,and the sun, and the moon, and the stars; fire and lightning and winds are there; and all that now is and all that is not: for the whole universe is in Him and He dwells within our heart.
*Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch Postimpressionist Painter*	Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.

*Voltaire (1694-1778) French Historian and Writer*	Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.
*Oscar Wilde (1856-1900) British Author and Wit*	Men always want to be a woman's first love - Women like to be a man's last romance. When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her. When one is in love one begins by deceiving oneself, one ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls romance. Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!

*Jesus(B.C. 6?-30? A.D.) Founder of Christianity*	Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
*Ben Jonson (1572-1637) English Poet and Dramatist*	Follow a shadow, it still flies you, Seem to fly, it will pursue: So court a mistress, she denies you: Let her alone, she will court you. Say are not women truly, then, Styled but the shadows of men?
*Jean Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1808-1890) French Author*	Life is the flower of which love is the honey.
*Abu Ali Katib (fl. c. 940) Iraqi Sufi Leader*	Pleasant fragrances of the breezes of love blow from the lovers even thought they might conceal it. The effects of these breezes bear witness to them even if they disguise it and are apparent even if they hide it.
*Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) English Author and Clergyman*	As the rays come from the sun, and yet are not the sun, even so our love and pity, though they are not God, but merely a poor, weak image and reflection of him, yet from him alone they come.
*Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) English Author of Prose and Verse*	The heart of a man to the heart of a maid - Light of my tents, be fleet - Morning awaits at the end of the world, And the world is all at our feet.

*Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French Classical Writer*	It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks of it, but few have seen it. As love increases, prudence diminishes. The more we love the nearer we are to hate. When the heart is still agitated by the remains of a passion, we are more ready to receive a new one than when we are entirely cured. The pleasure of love is in loving. We are happier in the passion we feel than in that which we excite. The reason why lovers are never weary of one another is this - they are always talking of themselves. If we judge of love by most of its results, it resembles hatred more than friendship.
*Letitia E. Landon (1802-1838) English Poet and Novelist*	Love is a pearl of purest hue, But stormy waves are round it; And dearly may a woman rue, The hour that she found it.
*Lao-Tzu (fl. B.C. 600) Chinese Philosopher - Founder of Taoism*	If one has love in battle one is victorious. If one has it in defense one is invincible. Whom Heaven wants to save him he protects through love.
*Henry W. Longfellow (1819-1892) American Poet*	Ah, how skillful grows the hand That obeyeth Love's command! It is the heart and not the brain That to the highest doth attain, And he who followeth Love's behest Far excelleth all the rest. There is nothing in this world so sweet as love, and next to love, the sweetest thing is hate. It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
*Samuel Lover (1797-1868) Irish Novelist and Song Writer*	Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.
*Sir John Lubbock (1834-1913) English Statesman, Banker, and Naturalist*	Do not be afraid of showing your affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service; love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
*Martin Luther (1483-1546) German Leader of the Protestant Reformation*	Love is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.
*John Lyly (1554-1606) English Dramatist and Prose Writer*	A heat full of coldness, a sweet full of bitterness, a pain full of pleasantness, which maketh thoughts have eyes, and hearts, and ears; bred by desire, nursed by delight, weaned by jealousy, killed by dissembling, buried by ingratitude; and this is love.
*Margaret of Valois (1553-1615) French Author - Wife of Henry IV*	In love, as in war, a fortress that parleys is half taken.
*Wm. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) English Novelist and Playwright*	The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.
*Edna Millay (1892-1950) American Poet*	And if I loved you Wednesday, Well, what is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - So much is true.
*Henry Miller (1891-1980) American Author*	The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.

*Thomas Moore (1779-1852) Irish Poet*	There is nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dreams. Yes, loving is a painful thrill And not to love more painful still; But oh, it is the worst of pain, To love and not be lov'd again.
*Alfred de Musset (1810-1857) French Poet, Dramatist, and Fiction Writer*	Life is a sleep, love is a dream; and you have lived if you have loved.
*Napoleon (1769-1821) French Emperor*	Love is the idler's occupation, the warrior's relaxation, and the sovereign's ruination.
*Ovid (B.C. 43-18 A.D.) Latin Poet*	Love is a thing full of anxious fears. Love and dignity cannot share the same abode. If thou wishest to put an end to love, attend to business (love yields to employment); then thou wilt be safe.
Blaise Pascal (1623-62) French Philosopher	The heart has reasons which reason knows nothing of.
*Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) Italian Poet and Humanist*	Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English Essayist, Poet, and Statesman	Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, Hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
Akhenaton? (c. B.C. 1375) Egyptian King and Monotheist	In the spring of thy youth, in the morning of thy days, when the eyes of man gaze on thee with delight, and nature whispereth in thine ear the meaning of their looks; Ah! hear with caution their seducing words, guard well thy heart, nor listen to their soft persuasions.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English Philosopher, Essayist, and Statesman	Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth and embaseth it.

Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) French Novelist	There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything; it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire. The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one. 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.
*Francis W. Bourdillon (1852-1921) English Poet*	The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done.

*Robert Browning (1812-1889) English Poet*	Love is energy of life.
*Robert Burns (1759-1796) Scottish Poet*	What is life, when wanting love? Night without a morning; Love's the cloudless summer sun, Nature gay adorning.
George Gordon N Byron (1788-1824) English Poet	In her first passion woman loves her lover; In all others, all she loves is love. Yes, Love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire With angels shared, by Allah given To lift from earth our low desire. Let none think to fly the danger For soon or late love is his own avenger. Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes; But not too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes; Disguise even tenderness, if thou art wise.
Pedro Calderon (1600-1681) Spanish Dramatist	Love that is not madness is not love.
