Love Quotes and Poems

It is only when we no longer compulsively need
someone that we can have a real relationship
with them.

~Anthony Storr

A relationship is like a garden. If it is to thrive it
must be watered regularly. Special care must be
given, taking into account the seasons as well as
any unpredictable weather.

~John Gray

Tend your relationship like a garden. Interviews with couples who reveal the secrets of longterm relationships - Secrets of Blissful Relationships

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more;
A thousand to that hundred; so kiss on,
To make that thousand up to a million;
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.

~Robert Herrick

Love Quotes and Poems

It's a terrible deception of love that it begins by
engaging us in play not with a woman of the
external world but with a doll fashioned in our
brain—the only woman moreover that we have
always at our disposal, the only one we shall
ever possess.

~Marcel Proust

Here is a perfect poem:
to awaken a longing,
to nourish it,
to develop it,
to increase it,
to stimulate it,
to gratify it.

~Honore de Balzac

Love Quotes and Poems

In order for a relationship to be successful in
the widest sense of the term, you have to want
God more than you want your partner.

~Stephen Levine

Love is a drama of contradictions.

~Franz Kafka

Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when
there is no strategy, but it is very rare
because most people are strategists.

~Anita Brookner

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only.

~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Love Poems and Quotes

You can give without loving, but you cannot love
without giving.

~Ami Carmichael

When we enter into any relationship with the premise
that we are empty and the other person will fill us in, we
are sure to fail. We can only win when we proceed from
wholeness.

~Alan Cohen
