Hush, my darling! Hush, hush, Catherine! I'll stay. If he shot me so, I'd expire with a blessing on my lips.

They forgot everything the minute they were together again.

He’s more myself than I am

I 'never told my love' vocally; still, if looks have language, the merest idiot might have guessed I was over head and ears;

I never told my love vocally still.

You fight against that devil for love as long as you may; when the time comes, not all the angels in heaven shall save him!

“This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.”

“It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed.”

“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you do, and you will presently come to love him.”

“If you love deeply, you’re going to get hurt badly. But it’s still worth it.”

“Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.”

“Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.”

“Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.”

Love me sweet With all thou art Feeling, thinking, seeing; Love me in the Lightest part, Love me in full Being.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.

And yet, because I love thee, I obtain From that same love this vindicating grace, To live on still in love, and yet in vain

Alas, I have grieved so I am hard to love. Yet love me--wilt thou? Open thine heart wide, And fold within, the wet wings of thy dove.

And if God choose I shall but love thee better after death.

If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.

Beloved, let us live so well our work shall still be better for our love, and still our love be sweeter for our work.

But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
