Quotes about Love's Pain

Lord Byron

So bright the tear in Beauty's eye, Love half regrets to kiss it dry.

L. J. Smith

I'm as cruel as life. As cruel as love.

Erich Maria Remarque

I did not want to think so much about her. I wanted to take her as an unexpected, delightful gift, that had come and would go again — nothing more. I meant not to give room to the thought that it could ever be more. I knew too well that all love has the desire for eternity and that therein lies its eternal torment. Nothing lasts. Nothing.

John Donne

When I died last, and, Dear, I die
As often as from thee I go
Though it be but an hour ago,
And lovers' hours be full eternity.

Oscar Wilde

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.

William Shakespeare

To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans,
Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth
With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights;
If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain;
If lost, why then a grievous labour won;
However, but a folly bought with wit,
Or else a wit by folly vanquished.

William Blake

Grown old in love from seven till seven times seven,I oft have wished for Hell for ease from Heaven.

William Shakespeare

The wounds invisible that Love's keen arrows make.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

More hearts are breaking in this world of ours Than one would say. In distant villages And solitudes remote, where winds have wafted The barbed seeds of love, or birds of passage Scattered them in their flight, do they take root, And grow in silence, and in silence perish.

Douglas William Jerrold

Love's like the measles - all the worse when it comes late in life.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Love's very pain is sweet,
But its reward is in the world divine
Which, if not here, it builds beyond the grave.

William Shakespeare

Come away, come away, death,
And in sad cypres let me be laid;
Fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.

William Shakespeare

If ever (as that ever may be near) you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy, then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen, arrows make.

Richard Paul Evans

Love is never convenient-and rarely painless
