- Quotes by Sir Walter Raleigh
“I f all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd’s tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move, To live with thee, and be thy love. Silence in love betrays more woe, than words, though ne’er so witty! So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth”. - Quotes by Jean Racine
“It is no longer a passion hidden in my veins; it is Venus’ very self fastened on her prey”. - Quotes by Sextus Propertius
“Love is fostered by confidence and constancy; he who is able to give much as able also to love much”. - Quotes by Ezra Pound
“As a bathtub lined with white porcelainWhen the hot water gives out goes tepid, So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion, O may much praised but-not-altogether satisfactory lady”.
- Quotes by Alexander Pope
“Where’er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade, Trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a shade: Where’er you tread, the blushing flowers shall rise, And all things flourish where you turn your eyes. How loved, how honour’d once, avails thee not, To whom related, or by whom begot. Love, free as air, at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies. And love th’ offender, yet detest th’ offence. What reason weaves, by passion is undone. The ruling passion, be it what it will, The ruling passion conquers reason still”.
