Love is the most dunder-headed of all the passions; it never will listen
to reason. The very rudiments of logic are unknown to it. "Love has no
wherefore," says one of the Latin poets.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and
not, as it too often is, the end.--_Alphonse Karr._
One dies twice: to cease to live is nothing, but to cease to love and to
be loved is an insupportable death.--_Voltaire._
The heart of a woman is never so full of affection that there does not
remain a little corner for flattery and love.--_Mauvaux._
Love is always blind and tears his hands whenever he tries to gather
roses.--_Arsene Houssaye._
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by
imagination.--_Voltaire._
Oh! I was mad to intoxicate myself with the wine of love, and to extend
my hand to the crown of poets. Pleasure! Poetry! you are perfidious
friends. Pain follows you closely.--_Arsene Houssaye._
If love gives wit to fools, it undoubtedly takes it from
wits.--_Alphonse Karr._
In love, as in everything else, experience is a physician who never
comes until after the disorder is cured.--_Mme. de la Tour._
