If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.
Sir James M. Barrie 1860-1937, British Playwright

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
Lynda Barry American Cartoonist, Painter, Essayist

To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive and impoverished.
Roland Barthes 1915-1980, French Semiologist

Naturally, love's the most distant possibility.
Georges Bataille 1897-1962, French Novelist, Critic

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still alive.
Orlando A. Battista

It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.
Charles Baudelaire 1821-1867, French Poet

To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light.
Jean Baudrillard French Postmodern Philosopher, Writer

If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.
Jean Baudrillard

Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough.
Pierre De Beaumarchais 1732-1799, French Dramatist

When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.
Ernest Becker 1924-1974, American Psychologist
