How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways

As I child I used to have an exercise book filled with all my favourite quotes. Now as an adult, I collect love quotes...not only because it gives you a better insight on love. But I find that romance is not so much about what you say but how you say it and there is nothing more romantic for me than insight on love. Here is a list of my favourite quotes:

1. “Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.”
—Henry Louis Mencken

2. “Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”
—Franklin P. Jones

3. “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

4. "She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudness climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes..."
--Lord Byron

5. "Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one."
--John Keats

6. "Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
--Antoine de Saint-Exupery

7. "Love is friendship set on fire."
--Jeremy Taylor

8. "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly."
--Sam Keen

9. "Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end."
--Germaine De Stael

10. We are all born for love... it is the principle existence and it's only end."
--Benjamin Disraeli

Love my friends, it is the nectar of life that makes all the hurt worth it! --Nisha :)
