Here lies a collection of poems and quotes that I deem fitting to the theme. Feel free to submit your suggestions to Lady Mars.
The heart has its reasons in which reason cannot understand.
-Blaise Pascal
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone,
I here, thou there, yet both but one.
"A Letter to Her Husband,
Absent Upont Public Employment"
-Anne Bradstree
Love- A find, a fire, a heaven, a hell
Where pleasure, pain, and sad repetance dwell.
-Richard Barnfield
Ture love is like a ghost; everyone talks of it, few have seen it.
- La Rochefoucauld (thank you Ninx ;)
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admite impediments; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh, no, it is an ever-fixed mark,
That locks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of Doom.
If this be error, and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Sonnet 116 -William Shakespeare
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
-Aristotle
Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
-Robert Frost (thank you Jennifer Kirkland =)
Sometimes the people we hurt the most are the ones closest to us, for it is in
loving someone that we stand close enough to be hugged, but near enough to feel
the pain.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
(Thanks once again Lady Heartfire ^_^)
To love another you have undertake a fragment of their destiny.
Quentin Crisp (Gratitude to Venusian Goddess)
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love IS everything it’s cracked up to
be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being
brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even
more.
Erica Jong (More gratitude to Venusian Goddess)
The furthest distance I've every known from my head to my heart.
Evan and Jaron
To every lovely lady bright,
I wish a gallant faithful knight;
To every faithful lover, too,
I wish a trusting lady true.
Sir Walter Scott
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One makes mistakes; that's life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.
Romain Rolland (Thanks Chibi Usa!)
Love that which only happens to thee and is spun with the thread of thy destiny. For what is more suitable?
Marcus Aurelius (Thanks Jessica Vann!)
When I first met you, I was afraid I'd like you.
When I first liked you, I was afraid I'd love you.
When I first loved you, I was afraid I'd loose you.
