Valentine's Day / Quotations
1. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies
- Aristotle
2. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while
loving someone deeply gives you courage.

3. My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
4. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

protects you from age.

each other but in looking outward in the same direction.

8. Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
- Kahlil Gibran, the Prophet
9. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be
seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

- Zora Neale Hurston
12. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand
only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only
because I love.
- Leo Tolstoy
13. Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers
open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away.
- Dorothy Parker
14. I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its
coming with all my heart.
- Alice Walker
15. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
- Pablo Neruda, "Love Sonnet XVII"

There is no frigate like a book
هیچ ناوی چون کتاب
to take us lands away
ما را به دریاهای دور نتواند برد
nor any coursers like a page
و هیچ سمندی همچو برگی
of prancing poetry
از چکامه ای طرب انگیز
this traverse may the poorest take
اینک وسیله ای رایگان
without oppress of toll
برای گشت و کذار تنگدستان
how frugal is the chariot
وه چه کم بهاست
that bears the human soul
ارابه حامل روح انسان
