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.

Go practise if you please
With men and women: leave a child alone
For Christ's particular love's sake!
Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower,
We feel that we are greater than we know.
Just such disparity
As is ’twixt air and angels’ purity,
’Twixt women’s love, and men’s will ever be.
He which hath business, and makes love, doth do
Such wrong, as when a married man doth woo.
Ammu explained to Estha and Rahel that people always loved best what they Identified most with.
A woman loves to be obeyed at first, although afterwards she finds her pleasure in obeying.
