Passion

What I do and what I dream include thee, as the wine must taste of its own grapes

May you live all the days of your life

I can resist everything except temptation

Old age: A great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold, you may have escaped, not from one master but from many.

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable

Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; and every little absence is an age

My love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, both are infinite.

In the eyes of a lover pockmarks are dimples

Romance is a love affair in other than domestic surroundings

There is no remedy for love but to love more

Love isn't decent. Love is glorious and shameless

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever

There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.

Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired

The passionate are like men standing on their heads; they see all things the wrong way

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.

Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low

Thou art to me a delicious torment
