Love Quotations: “Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” ~Khalil Gibran “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” ~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night’s Dream, 1595 “Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” ~Robert Heinlein “A bell is no bell ’til you ring it, A song is no song ’til you sing it, And love in your heart Wasn’t put there to stay – Love isn’t love ‘Til you give it away.” ~Oscar Hammerstein Check out our romance display.
