Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand;
Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!
And reaching up my hand to try,
I screamed to feel it touch the sky.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
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.
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.
