In Love

One doesn’t fall in love; one grows into love, and love grows in him.

–Karl Menninger

I love being in love. I don’t think anything compares with it, though I consider it very disruptive.

–Fran Lebowitz

Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.

–John Keats

In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person.

–Margaret Anderson

When you’re in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

–Natalie Clifford Barney

Pleasant fragrances of the breezes of love blow from the lovers even thought they might conceal it. The effects of these breezes bear witness to them even if they disguise it and are apparent even if they hide it.

–Abu Ali Katib

Love is eternal – the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one’s work.

–Vincent Van Gogh

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

–Bertrand Russell

One is very crazy when in love.

–Sigmund Freud

You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.

–Sheetal

Journeys end in lovers meeting.

–William Shakespeare

The mark of a true crush

Is that you fall in love first

And grope for reasons afterward

–Shana Alexander

You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

–Dr. Seuss

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense.

–Helen Rowland

A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears.

–Woodrow Wyatt

Before I met my husband, I’d never fallen in love. I’d stepped in it a few times.

–Rita Rudner

Don’t find love, let love find you. That’s why it’s called falling in love,

because you don’t force yourself to fall, you just fall.

–Author Unknown

When you’re in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

–Natalie Clifford Barney

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.

–Anton Chekhov

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances:

if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

–Carl Jung

Do you want to know a good way to fall in love? Just associate with all your pleasant experiences with someone, and disassociate from all the unpleasant ones.

–Richard Bandler

He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light, and two much in love to say goodnight.

–Frank Loesser

There’s nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who’s in love with him.

–Ernest Lehman (The Baroness)

What is love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.

–Victor Hugo

A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can’t help looking like a sheep.

–Dame Agatha Christie
