First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity: no really self-respecting woman would take advantage of it. (Alger William R.)
All love is sweet, Given or returned. Common as light is love, And its familiar voice wearies not ever. They who inspire is most are fortunate, As I am now: but those who feel it most Are happier still. (Alger William R.)
Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry. (Alger William R.)
All fair in love and war. (Alger William R.)
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition. (Alger William R.)
To love and be loved is the great happiness of existence. (Alger William R.)
The hottest love has the coldest end. (Alger William R.)
I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within. (Alger William R.)
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love. (Alger William R.)
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; that word is love. (Alger William R.)
What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up? (Alger William R.)
Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. (Alger William R.)
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us. (Alger William R.)
Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art. (Alger William R.)
Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life. (Alger William R.)
True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things. (Alger William R.)
Love is stronger than justice. (Alger William R.)
What force is more potent than love? (Alger William R.)
Is it not by love alone that we succeed in penetrating to the very essence of being? (Alger William R.)
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be. (Alger William R.)
To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. (Alger William R.)
