Lover Quotes
-
By virtue of love is the lover transformed in the beloved and the beloved transformed in the lover.
Angela of Foligno
-
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning - I am surely far different from what you suppose; Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal? Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover? Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy'd satisfaction? Do you think I am trusty and faithful? Do you see no further than this façade—this smooth and tolerant manner of me? Do you suppose yourself advancing on real ground toward a real heroic man? Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?
Walt Whitman

Some people sleep all alone every night Instead of taking a lover to bed Some people find that it's easier to hate Than to wait anymore.
Billy Joel
-
I feel happy about the songs I've written. I'm a great lover of the craft of songwriting, and I sure admire it in other people when I see it – past and present. I feel comfortable with what I have accomplished. I feel happy to be able to work in that environment, and that I have a lot of songs left to be written, somewhere.
John Fogerty
Creedence Clearwater Revival
-
Pleasure and pain at once register upon the lover, inasmuch as the desirability of the love object derives, in part, from its lack. To whom is it lacking? To the lover. If we follow the trajectory of eros we consistently find it tracing out this same route: it moves out from the lover toward the beloved, then ricochets back to the lover himself and the hole in him, unnoticed before. Who is the subject of most love poems? Not the beloved. It is that hole.
Anne Carson
-
She does not hunt. She's too much of an animal lover. She would never kill an animal.
Andrea Tantaros
-
The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband.
Honore de Balzac
-
Un homme n'a jamais pu e lever sa ma|"tresse jusqu'a' lui; mais une femme place toujours son amant aussi haut qu'elle. A man can never elevate his mistress to his rank, but a woman can always place her lover as high as she.
Honore de Balzac
-
A lover knows only humility, he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret, he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of
his imprisonment, he has no choice.
Rumi
-
The woman who takes a woman lover lives dangerously in patriarchy.
Cheryl Clarke
-
Would you think of somebody who you adore, who’s no longer there? A beloved grandmother, a lover — somebody in your life who you love with all your heart, but that person is no longer with you. Bring that person into your mind, and at the same time follow the line all the way from B to E, and you’ll hear everything that Chopin had to say.
Benjamin Zander
-
Ye lover of the picturesque, if ye wish to drown your grief, take my advice and visit the ancient town of Crieff.
William Topaz McGonagall
-
Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi
-
It was as though applied mathematics was my spouse, and pure mathematics was my secret lover.
Edward Frenkel
-
I fell in love with the thought that a human life could be a priestly conduit, a connecting link between earth and sky. As I grew and stumbled and, most important, as I began to love and be loved, I realized that the ultimate priest is the lover inside us.
Marianne Williamson
