Tonight, may I get so drunk in love that
I do not see any dreams!
Love Quotes
This is one of the biggest pages on the site, and most of what is on it is not the kind of line you would put on a mug. Wikiquote’s editors drew these from poems, novels, letters and essays, so a lot of them only make full sense next to the sentences around them. That is useful if you want a real source and annoying if you want a caption.
Two of the best-known love quotes are flagged here as misattributed. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” is credited to Confucius. The oldest English version anyone has found is from a 1982 alumni magazine, where the man quoted was himself passing it along from an unnamed source. “God made beer because he loves us and wants us to be happy” is credited to Benjamin Franklin. It looks like a garbled version of what he wrote about wine in 1779, in a letter to André Morellet.
If a quote you want is marked disputed or attributed, that is Wikiquote’s judgement, not ours. The notes on the quote’s page show what the editors found.
Dear, as the light that visits these sad eyes;
Dear, as the ruddy drops that warm my heart.
Fool, not to know that love endures no tie,
And Jove but laughs at lovers' perjury.
Our way is where God knows
And Love knows where:
We are in Love's hand to-day.
Love is like the glass,
That throws its own rich colour over all,
And makes all beautiful.
All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand.
He that made all things for love, by the same love keepeth them, and shall keep them without end.
For Truth makes holy Love's illusive dreams,
And their best promise constantly redeems.
There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it.
To live is like to love — all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
