Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith. ↗

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself. ↗

— Leo Buscaglia

The object of self-love is expressed in the term self; and every appetite of sense, and every particular affection of the heart, are equally interested or disinterested, because the objects of them all are equally self or somewhat else. ↗

Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life. ↗

Love is a special word, and I use it only when I mean it. You say the word too much and it becomes cheap. ↗

I fall in love with contradictions without understanding. I can't really portray them unless I do. So in a roundabout way I have to fall in love, it's my duty. If love is about understanding and understanding is compassion and compassion is love, I have to have compassion towards the world. ↗

— Joseph Fiennes

I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about. ↗

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come. ↗

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other. ↗

— Carl Jung
