Where Love Is Great The Littlest Doubts Are Fear

“It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love”

“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”

“Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none.”

“Love is born into every human being; it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature.”

“If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love for pricking and you beat love down.”

“Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs; being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears; what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.”
