Gothic Love Quotes - The Dark Mystery of Life and Love

Gothic Love Quotes have a dark, mystical, medieval quality to them. They may focus on our mortality and seemingly inevitable despair. They may be strongly individualistic and reject the status quo. They may have a focus where life, love and darker forces of the human condition are inextricably entertwined. The word Gothic derives from the Goths, which was originally a Germanic tribe.

Below are some quotations along these lines. Select a quote for your Gothic Myspace layout or contribute one of your own.

but I know that a mere glance is enough to make

of impulse, are creatures of despair.

~ Joseph Conrad

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and
the enemy of growth.

~ John F. Kennedy
