LOVE: No. I  yearn upward, touch you close, Then stand away. I kiss your cheek, Catch your soul's warmth, - I pluck the rose. Then the good minute goes. -Robert Browning: Two in the Campagna Oh, when I was in love with you, Then I was clean and brave And miles around the wonder grew How well did I behave. And now the fancy passes by, And nothing will remain, And miles around they'll say that I  Am quite myself again. -A.E.Housman: A Shropshire Lad At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone. -La Bryere To be in love is merely to be in a state of perpetual anaesthesis - to mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god or an ordinary young woman for a goddess. -H.L.Menken Love is nothing save an insatiate thirst to enjoy a greedily desired object.  -Montaigne

You will not succeed -G.B.Shaw. Nothing that lasts too long is very agreeable, not even life. -Vauvenargues
