Johann Kaspar Lavater Quotes

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

I've been in love with Natalie Portman for a long time now. She's flawless.

My mother is not a model. She is not perfect. That awareness is part of learning to love someone. Predicting the actions of someone is an act of love. We persist, even when we get it wrong. That's the beauty of love.

Everyone falls in love, everyone gets their heart broken.

Perfect love knows no because

But there's the beauty of life beyond the bubble. It's possible for someone to see your wicked bits and still love you.

My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw.

All I want, is for you to love me. Not because of what I can do or what I look like, or because I love you - just because I am.

My love admits no qualifying dross

I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man.

I do believe this: That what we call love is always available to us. And of course I'm not just talking about passion. I'm talking about love where you just can't conceive that your life isn't perfect, that you can't conceive of wanting anything.

You can have this kind of love. You can have it. You just grab it. Of course the problem with having that love is that you can lose it, too.

Flowers of all hue, and without thorn the rose.

If it had and answer, it wouldn't really be love, would it?

Do not forget that true love sets no conditions; it does not calculate or complain, but simply loves.

Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.

Love loves unto purity. Love has ever in view the absolute loveliness of that which it beholds. Therefore all that is not beautiful in the beloved, all that comes between and is not of love's kind, must be destroyed. And our God is a consuming fire.

To me He is all fault who hath no fault at all: For who loves me must have a touch of earth.

We're all amateurs when it comes to love. Don't be too hard on each other.
