- Quotes by Thomas Carew
“He that loves a rosy cheek, Or a coral lip admires; Or from star-like eyes doth seek, Fuel to maintain his fires: As old Time makes these decay, So his flames must waste away. Then fly betimes, for only they, Conquer Love, that run away”. - Quotes by Thomas Campion
“Never love unless you can, Bear with all the faults of man”. - Quotes by Thomas Campbell
“Better be courted and jilted, than never be courted at all”. - Quotes by Mrs Patrick Campbell
“I don’t mind where people make love, so long as they don’t do it on the street and frighten the horses”. - Quotes by Byron Lord George Gordon
“A thousand hearts beat happily; and when music arose with its voluptuous swell, Softeyes look’d love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell; But hush! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell! Here’s sight to those who love me, And a smile to those who hate; And, whatever sky’s above me, Here’s a heart for every fate. Merely innocent flirtation, Not quite adultery, but adulteration. A little while she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne’er consented. Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart, ‘Tis woman’s whole existence. Alas! the love of women! it is known, To be a lovely and a fearful thing. In her first passion woman loves her lover, In all the others all she loves is love. What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, Is much more common where the climate’s sultry. So, we’ll go no more a-roving, So late into the night, Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright”.
