Love Quotes:
© We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
Pleasure
© Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.
© Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know. I admire lolling on a lawn by a water-lilied pond to eat white currants and see goldfish: and go to the fair in the evening if I'm good. There is not hope for that --one is sure to get into some mess before evening.

© Pleasure may come from illusion, but happiness can come only of reality.

What is Love?
© "Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
From My Heart:
© It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
© Maybe we have to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
© Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person.
© A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
© When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
© The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
© It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
© Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be sure it grew in yours.
© There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.
© Never say good-bye if you still want to try, never give up if you still feel you can go on, never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go.
© Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed, to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, need to love those who still love although they've been hurt before.
© It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
© Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, in the end it fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
© There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
© Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to all the things you want to do.
© May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy and enough money to buy me gifts.
© Always put yourself in other's shoes. If you feel it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.
© A careless word may kindle strife, a cruel word may wreck a life, a timely word may level stress, a loving word may heal and bless.
© The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves, and not twist them with our own image otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
© The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
© Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
© Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
© The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
© When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
© Love is an unusual game. There are either two winners or none.
© If I could reinvent the alphabet, I would put U and I together.

First Love Quotes:
First love
is a kind of vaccination
which saves a man
from catching the complaint
the second time.
Lucky is the man
who is the
first love of a woman,
but luckier is the
woman who is the
last love of a man.
To be in love
is merely to be in a state
of perceptual anesthesia.
That's why people are so cynical about it..
It really is worth fighting for,
risking everything for.
And the trouble is,
if you don't risk everything,
you risk even more.
I am a sailor,
you're my first mate
We signed on together,
we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor,
determined not to fail...
We only love truly once.
It is the first time
and succeeding passions
are less uncontrolled.
