Sayings about love and life. Quotes of great men. Short statuses, quotes, aphorisms about life and love from Great People


Love is a magical feeling that arises from nowhere and leads to nowhere... Quoting it, we want it, we awaken and desire it, enthusiastically delving into the soulful lines of Love...

Love is a feeling that can elevate and inspire anyone who lets it into their heart.

This unique opportunity given to living beings. Famous minds of mankind tried to understand its true essence, passing on to their descendants in their own words the results collected over entire lives.

Many writers, philosophers and poets strong feeling is associated not with passion or tenderness, but with pain. They had to endure unrequited emotions or other troubles that follow love.

Somerset Maugham calls it "pain and anguish, shame, delight, heaven and hell, the feeling of being more tense than usual, and unspeakable longing, freedom and slavery, peace and anxiety." He managed to accurately convey the absurdity and illogicality of sensations.

The great Paulo Coelho says the following: “Love is confusion and melancholy, sleepless nights when you are tormented by the question of whether you are doing the right thing.” He believes that “true love consists of unbearable ecstasy and agony.”

Robert Lembke once put it succinctly and precisely. He called the most important feeling on Earth a serious illness that puts two people to bed at once.

John Green was a positive person and saw even in pain positive side. In one of his novels he wrote: “True love is born in difficult times. And only after going through trials - pain and suffering - can one truly appreciate the happiness given.”

Beautiful and wise quotes about Love

The wisdom accumulated over the years is expressed by great people in quotes. They leave their knowledge to others, trying to fit it into just a few sentences.

For example, Anna Parvati addresses her lover like this: “Look: I love and choose only you, even when we are at a crazy distance from each other. They say that you have to fight for feelings. Fight your doubts, pride, fears. And I fight for you."

A very unusual dialogue is located on the pages of the famous “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, written by Oscar Wilde:

"I like her, but I'm not in love with her."

And she’s in love with you, but she doesn’t like you.”

These seemingly insignificant lines have an incredible message for all of humanity; they contain a wise conclusion and even advice, you just have to read between the lines.

Short quotes about Love at a distance

Feelings at a distance are tested for authenticity and only grow stronger if they turn out to be real.

Joseph Brodsky expressed this thought most succinctly: “He who knows how to love, knows how to wait.”

Marc Levy gave something to think about when he said, “Imagine how much it must be to love, to endlessly imagine the person you love next to you.” Honore de Balzac speaks wonderfully and briefly about the time spent with the object of her desire: “For lovers, one hour contains a whole life.”

And it’s true – lovers don’t notice the clock! But not when they are apart. It is difficult to experience separation, so the meeting after it can be called the most important miracle and the most desired blessing in the world.

About happiness and love for a guy in quotes

True love still brings happiness. Those minutes when this happens are worth every consequence, even the most negative ones. It's not for nothing that so many couples were killed because of their love affairs - they took risks, but the time spent together allowed them to die happy.

Orhan Pamuk expressed his emotions with one a simple sentence: “Happiness is being close to the person you love.” IN in social networks the expression also wanders: “I want children from you, and this expresses my love.”

There are many sayings about warmth and happiness. All of them are striking in their sincerity and accuracy, so it is quite difficult to choose a few of them to give the correct examples.

Quotes of great men

Every person has experienced such a romantic feeling. This also applies to the greatest minds of humanity, who left behind unique quotes:

“Keep love in your heart. Life without it is like a garden without sunlight, where the flowers are dead.” Oscar Wilde.

“True love does not tolerate strangers.” Erich Maria Remarque.

“Love is like mercury: you can only hold it in open palm, and without squeezing your hand." Parker Dorothy.

The most popular quote belongs to a true connoisseur of love and a genius in literature - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

It sounds like this: “Loving does not mean looking into each other’s eyes, loving means looking in the same direction together.” And this cannot be refuted.

Quotes about Love in English with translation

If you decide to get a tattoo in the form of a phrase about love on English language, you should first find out its translation and make sure that the spelling and punctuation of what is written is correct.

Among the famous quotes, it sounds simple and amazing: “There’s nothing that burn like you,” which translates: “Nothing burns like you.” Mahatma Gandhi's saying "Where there is love, there is life" is often found in English version translation - “Where there love, there is life.”

No less popular is the quote by Gibran Khalil: “Life without love like a tree without fruit and blossom,” the translation of which is: “Life without love is like a tree without fruit and color.” This phrase is often tattooed on the arm, tailbone, or any other place where such a long sentence will fit, even in small print.

Emily Dickinson once said two short sentences that remain relevant to this day. She said that “Love is everything. And that’s all we know about her.”

We know only one thing for sure - this is a mysterious and all-consuming feeling that allows us to live, and not exist, to find meaning in the fact that we wander the earth, and also, when inspired, to leave behind masterpieces for our descendants.

So many people live small, petty lives. Many of us “die” at twenty years old, although we bury them at eighty. Remember: nothing can stop a person if he doesn't want to stop. Most people have not even experienced real failure - they have simply given up the fight. And most of the obstacles that prevent you from achieving your dreams, you yourself erected on your way. So throw off the shackles of “petty thoughts”, and instead have the courage to dream big and understand that failure is not your lot.

Robin Sharma

Never go back. There is no point in going back anymore. Even if there are the same eyes in which thoughts were drowning. Even if you are drawn to where everything was so nice, don’t ever go there, forget forever what happened. The same people live in the past that they always promised to love. If you remember this, forget it, don’t ever go there. Don't trust them, they are strangers. After all, they once left you. They killed faith in their souls, in love, in people and in themselves. Just live what you live and even though life looks like hell, look only forward, never go back. Omar Khayyam

She falls in love not with someone who has perfectly developed muscles, but with someone who has charisma, something inexplicable, but incredibly attractive, with someone whose secret she wants to know. A woman wants her chosen one to be not just a man, she wants him to be an adventure on the path to achieving awareness.
