Love is a luxury to a man, but it is life itself to a woman. — Lord Byron
Love not only occupies the vastness of the heart, but sometimes breaks into the most guarded of souls. — Francis Bacon
The noble element of love is no less significant than its gentle side, and its power to uplift is no less than its power to wither; sometimes, it even inspires other virtues. — Voltaire
Because love enters the heart, it cannot be driven out by beating or scolding. Once it has taken hold of you, it will possess everything about you. Since you have already fallen in love, there is no way out; the only way is to find the most efficient way to fulfill your desire. — Stevenson
Love is not sweet words under the shade of flowers, nor honeyed words in a paradise; it is not soft tears, nor is it rigid coercion; Love is built upon a foundation of common understanding. — Shakespeare
