My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses...

Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.

I cannot exist without you, so killing Galen is not an option. I would rather lose you to the Stormdancer than lose you in the sky.

No, love. You're the only one who has caused me to do the oddest things. You have truly poisoned me.

I'd found love - - only to discover how fleeting it can be.

I looked at her and sighed. In another world, I thought to myself, it might have worked. In another world, in another universe, in another time, as two quite different people, we really might have...

I wanted to learn more of love - that is built not on the shifting sands of violent passion but on the steady rock of deep and abiding affection.

When he asked if he was mine, tears in his eyes, I think he knew what he would do, what he would have to do, and he was mourning us. He was mourning us the whole time.

All I think when I look at you is hallelujah

There is a black-and-white picture in my hallway, of me, Nancy, and Lizzie in the bath, when Nancy was eight months old and Lizzie two-and-a-half. I am gently biting Lizzie. Nancy, in turn, is gumming...

She kissed her as if she had been stranded on an island, marking each lonely day on a fallen coconut, slowly losing her mind. She filled Michelle like weather, worked her mouth like a cherry stem...

Honestly, what good is owning a castle if the person you love doesn't want to share it with you?

Love is when you care for somebody, and you be willing to go out of your way and do anything for that person, and to take care of that person, and if they have problems, that you can help them out any...

How many other lives are hidden, and hearts are seeking? How many would give anything in the world to be held by the person they love?

Because who can describe the look that triggers the memory of loved ones? Who can anticipate the frown, the smile, or the misplaced lock of hair that sends a swift, undeniable signal from the past?...

I've won his heart, but it's like owning a house in which most of the doors are permanently locked. He wants to shield me from all unpleasantness. And it's not really marriage - not like the marriage...

He buried his face in her neck and held her in his arms, absorbing the form the shape of her, the miracle of her. It had been so long since he held her, loved her, taken all that she was and given her...

In the same way that a fiancée is a bride-to-be, I've always thought a girlfriend is a fiancée-to-be. Yes, most relationships bite the dust before things get long-term. However, that possibility of...

I stood there for a moment, playing emotional catch-up. He drove down from the Navarre House just to surprise me with flowers. And not because it's Valentine's Day, and I feel obligated to have...

Love Others Today: Be a person whose convictions are based on God's Word, and do what God calls you to do to act on them.

Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them, I said. Isaac shot me a look. Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping...

"I'm in love with you," he said quietly. "Augustus," I said. "I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the...

If you've not been loved as a child, you don't know how to love a child.

She looked up at him with a smile. The smile broke what was left of his resistance - shattered it. He had let the walls down when he'd thought she was gone, and there was no time to build them back...

We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.

I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow...

Krishna means love, but Radha means longing. Longing is older than love. I am older than he. Did you know that, Sita?

He wanted desperately to love her, to be able to make her happy, to be a family with her and their children. He wanted the dream - home, wife, children, love, happiness. Not fleetingly - gone almost...

So be afraid. Be angry. Be jealous. Be possessive. Be whatever you need to be. But please, let me come along for the ride. I promise I will hang in there with you. I promise you that there is far, far...

I do not need to get used to your silence. I already know it. I quite possibly love all of it.
