You ask what is the most important thing in my life,
I'll tell you: death and love - both.

Love

More quotes by Jan Lechoń

And in spring - let me see spring, not Poland.

I know now: it's as bright as the sun in the sky,
And the heart must die under heavy mourning,
Because I will never take you to myself for eternity.
You will never be me and I will never be you.

I feel very bad today, I feel very sad,
My thoughts are withered, sick, like flowers on a grave,
Outside the windows, the sky hangs like a gray canvas.
I can't love you or think about you today.

What to do? I have to get drunk on a bottle of ambrosia,
What's left of my youthful banquets.
I leave with a rose in my hand, with the moon under my armpit,
And I leave the rest for new poets.

A night with you - this is one thing that works like hashish,
Only one thing you can believe in unconsciously.
And I don't know if there is love apart from your body
And I know you don't love me, that you will forget about me.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Bertrand Russell Marriage and Morals (1929)

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.

Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
