Sherwood Anderson Quotes

A fact is not a truth until you love it.

I fell in love at 18 when I was in college, and that's probably why I know what it's like to be in love, and I can express it in a better way.

Tell me anything. Tell me everything. Revoke our time apart. Love me fierce in danger.

It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.

Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or - such is the pleasure they experience - they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.

I love love. I love having a lover and being one. The insularity of passion. I love it. I love the way it blurs the distinction between everyone who isn't one's lover.

Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.

That softness around your eyes, a softness in your face. Almost the way you feel when you’re about to start crying. That, to me, is love. It can be romantic love, it can be friendship love, it can be family love, it can be love for a chipmunk. It can be love for anything.

I had fallen in love. What I mean is: I had begun to recognize, to isolate the signs of one of those from the others, in fact I waited for these signs I had begun to recognize, I sought them, responded to those signs I awaited with other signs I made myself, or rather it was I who aroused them, these signs from her, which I answered with other signs of my own . . .

I love you so much I’ll never be able to tell you; I’m frightened to tell you. I can always feel your heart. Dance tunes are always right: I love you body and soul: —and I suppose body means that I want to touch you and be in bed with you, and i suppose soul means that i can hear you and see you and love you in every single, single thing in the whole world asleep or awake

Love is purely a creation of the human imagination, it is merely perhaps the most important of all the examples of how the imagination continually outruns the creature it inhabits.

Love and art do not embrace what is beautiful but what is made beautiful by this embrace.

You cannot depict love inside a frame of fact. It needs a mist to dissolve in.

Necessity is an interpretation, not a fact.

Be as romantic as you please about love ... but you mustn't be romantic about money.

There was a difference between loving someone and being in love

When soul rises Into lips You feel the kiss You have wanted

The fact was I loved my wife to a degree that I found impossible to express, and so rarely did.

Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.

The same facts impress us differently.

I'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.

I love you much most beautiful darling more than anyone on the earth and I like you better than everything in the sky.

They say that falling in love is wonderful, it's wonderful, so they say.
