Voltaire

I hate women because they always know where things are.

Froth at the top, dregs at bottom, but the middle excellent.

Let us work without theorizing, tis the only way to make life endurable.

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.

There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times.

Love truth, but pardon error.

The opposite of love isn’t hate. It isn’t even indifference. It’s fear.

To live is like to love – all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

And somewhere in my time with you, the crickets emerged as birds and the blackened hills found their hue. My eyes fell on you; I didn’t watch the sun move, but I felt the world turn all night.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

Don’t forget me, don’t forget me. I wouldn’t leave you if you’d let me.

What’s the difference?’ I asked him, ‘Between the love of your life and your soulmate?’ ‘One is a choice, and one is not.’

Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don’t like.

Don’t ever let anyone keep your heart on a shelf just to take it down whenever it is convenient for them to feel.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

I never met a woman I didn’t like. I love ’em all, in their different ways.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.

Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love!

Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30.
