I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen. (Jennifer Lopez)
I gave up coffee. It's almost worse than giving up a lover. View quote
Sandra Bullock
The great and amorous sky curved over the earth, and lay upon her as a pure lover. The rain, the humid flux descending from heaven for both man and animal, for both thick and strong, germinated the wheat, swelled the furrows with fecund mud and brought forth the buds in the orchards. And it is I who empowered these moist espousals, I the great Aphrodite. View quote
Aeschylus
Love is best when mixed with anguish. In our town, we won't call you a Lover if you escape the pain. Look for Love in this way, welcome it to your soul, and watch you spirit fly away in ecstasy. View quote
Rumi
The best training is to read and write, no matter what. Don't live with a lover or roommate who doesn't respect your work. Don't lie, buy time, borrow to buy time. Write what will stop your breath if you don't write. View quote
Grace Paley
Since the political struggles of France, Italy, Spain, and Greece, the word patriotism has been employed, throughout continental Europe, to express a love of the public good; a preference for the interests of the many to those of the few; a desire for the emancipation of the human race from the thrall of despotism, religious and of the human race from the thrall of despotism, religious and civil; in short, patriotism there is used rather to express the interest felt in the human race in general, than that felt for any country, or inhabitants of a country, in particular. And patriot, in like manner, is employed to signify a lover of human liberty and human improvement, rather than a mere lover of the country in which he lives, or the tribe to which he belongs. Used in this sense, patriotism is a virtue, and a patriot a virtuous man. View quote
Frances Wright
But loneliness is as delusive a belief in the pertinence of the world as is love: in choosing to feel lonely, as in choosing to love, one carves a space next to oneself to be filled by others - a friend, a lover, a toy poodle, a violinist on the radio. View quote
Yiyun Li
The lover says How beautiful you are, now that you love me. View quote
Marlene Dietrich
It's woman's spirit and mood a man has to stimulate in order to make sex interesting. The real lover is the man who can thrill you by touching your head or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space. View quote
Marilyn Monroe
And I was in such a state as I had been so many times before, so passionate and so terribly unnerved that I thought I should not satisfy my Lover and my Lover not fully gratify me, then I would have to desire while dying and die while desiring. View quote
Hadewijch
I saw him disappear to nothing, so quickly melting away and fusing together that I could not see or observe him outside of me, nor discern him within me. It was to me at that moment as if we were one without distinction. All of this was external, in sight, in taste, in touch, just as people may taste and see and touch receiving the external sacrament, just as a beloved may receive her lover in the full pleasure of seeing and hearing, with the one becoming one with the other. After this I remained in a state of oneness with my Beloved so that I melted into him and ceased to be myself. And I was transformed and absorbed in the spirit. (Hadewijch)
You miss the point? The lady that spares her lover spares herself too little. View quote
Plautus
I'm struggling to ... change a lot of people's minds about buying and wearing fur. To tell you the truth, when I was younger growing up, I thought it was all fake ... So once I found out what really happens, I had the opportunity to do this, so I really wanted to become part of it. I wanted to get involved with the campaign basically because I'm an avid animal lover. You know, I have pets of my own―I've had them since I was a little kid. Animals always want to pick you up, no matter what. View quote
Chad Ocho Cinco
Love is the veil between lover and lover. View quote
Kahlil Gibran
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The betrothed and accepted lover has lost the wildest charms of his maiden by her acceptance. She was heaven while he pursued her, but she cannot be heaven if she stoops to one such as he. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The philosopher and lover of man have much harm to say of trade but the historian will see that trade was the principle of Liberty that trade planted America and destroyed Feudalism that it makes peace and keeps peace, and it will abolish slavery. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The artist is the only lover he alone has the pure vision of beauty, and love is the vision of the soul when it is permitted to gaze upon immortal beauty. View quote
Isadora Duncan
God is the only lover and He loves in different forms - parents, husband, wife, friend, children, animals. All are His forms and He, Himself, has no form. View quote
Baba Hari Dass
I'd imagine Janowicz is a fine lover - a big, bear of a man but with the hands of a miniature portrait painter. View quote
Ben Dirs
This too can be endured, though it is hard: A lover in the end has his reward. (Ludovico Ariosto)
My waking thoughts are all of thee. Your portrait and the remembrance of last night's delirium have robbed my senses of repose. Sweet and incomparable Josephine, what an extraordinary influence you have over my heart. Are you vexed? Do I see you sad? Are you ill at ease? My soul is broken with grief, and there is no rest for your lover. View quote
Napoleon Bonaparte
A lover who promises eternal fidelity is more likely to be believed if he believes his promise himself; he is no more likely to keep the promise. View quote
John N. Gray
We have dealt with all these idealists in the past, I'm sure we'll find a way to deal with them today... Rid our world of all these fanatics one by one, won't let not prophet lover ruin my fun. We'll string ‘em up and shoot ‘em down. View quote
