Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.
Louis Aragon 1897-1982, French Poet

Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh Ardele

Oh, love is real enough; you will find it someday, but it has one archenemy -- and that is life.
Jean Anouilh Ardele

Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.
Hannah Arendt 1906-1975, German-born American Political Philosopher

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle

Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love.
Aristotle

In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes.
Elizabeth Ashley American Actress

We must love one another or die.
W. H. Auden 1907-1973, Anglo-American Poet

We are not commanded (or forbidden) to love our mates, our children, our friends, our country because such affections come naturally to us and are good in themselves, although we may corrupt them. We are commanded to love our neighbor because our ''natural'' attitude toward the ''other'' is one of either indifference or hostility.
W. H. Auden 1907-1973, Anglo-American Poet
