Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

To me, love has always meant friendship.

Friendship is all about trust and sharing. Passionate and romantic love is all about sex and emotions. You have to try to combine those, I think. The great marriages, the great couples I know, have both.

Love was a rare thing, easily confused with a million other things, and if anybody knew this to be true it was him.

Love is more than a word. It's a noun and a verb.

Do you know what the difference is between Friendship and Love? Friendship is the photograph, Love is the oil painting.

Friendship is insipid to those who have experienced love.

Love is friendship that has caught fire . . .

Love is every type of relationship that you think of... I'm sure it means relationship, every type of relationship that you can think of.

Love begins with love ; and the warmest friendship cannot change even to the coldest love.

There are certainties in existence, but love is something much harder to define than light and dark, life and death. I think saying you are "like" someone in love sounds right.

Friendship is love without its flowers or veil.

Yet falling in love is not the same as being able to love.

You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition.

Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.

There was a difference between loving someone and being in love

Love is implicit in every connection. It should be. Thus when absent it makes us insane. (You Shall Know Our Velocity)

I think most people would struggle to define their whole relationship with just one label - like: my girlfriend, boyfriend, brother, sister, confidantes, whatever - but in those moments, there's true joy in each other.

Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.

Love is what we aspire to most in our lives.

If you're in love and there's that chemistry, that's what it's all about.

Love is the substance of human survival.

I write songs about love because, above all, love is the most human thing we have together. Feelings are a part of us every day. You feel things every day, no matter where you are. So that's what I write about.

Don't know much, but I know I love you.

Everyone is having sex until they fall in love. When you fall in love, then it's making love.

There are two sorts of affection - the love of a woman you respect, and the love for the woman you love.
