Hatred is increased by being reciprocated, and can on the other hand be destroyed by love.
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.
Feeling the oneness of yourself with all things is true love.
Even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other.
Banish that fear; my flame can never waste,
For love sincere refines upon the taste.
It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
Maybe the heart is part of the mist.
And that's all that there is or could ever exist.
The gods throw the dice, and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not.
My doom is, I love thee still.
Let no man dream but that I love thee still.
