These are some of the quotes that got most of my attention as I was reading the book Why We Love, by Helen Fisher... Enjoy!


"Love's weather is so fair."

"Her eyes assumed new lustre, and her cheeks new colour and smoothness. Her voice became cheerful; her temper overflowing with universal kindness; and that smile of bewitching tenderness from day to day illuminated her countenance."

"Love will thrive for a considerable time on a very slight and sparing food."

"nor all of them together, have been able to eradicate from my mind those happy moments, the happiest of my life, which I have enjoyed in your company." George Washington to Sally Fairfax

Year after year
I recall that moonlight night
We spent alone together
Among hills of stunted pine

Su Tung-Po

"A new love drives out the old." Andreas Capellanus

"Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by the imagination." Voltaire

"The essence of romance is uncertainty." Oscar Wilde

"Love easily obtained is of little value; difficulty in obtaining it makes it precious." Andreas Capellanus

"Don't assume the relationship will last forever; build it one day at a time."

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness." Kahlil Gibran

"It is not customary to love what one has." Antole France

"The first duty in life is to assume a pose. What the second is, no one has yet discovered." Oscar Wilde
