It's true love because If he said quit drinking martinis but I kept on drinking them... and the next morning I couldn't get out of bed, He wouldn't tell me he told me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is easier for an artful Man, who is not in Love, to persuade his Mistress he has a Passion for her, and to succeed in his Pursu...its, than for one who loves with the greatest Violence. True Love hath ten thousand Griefs, Impatiencies and Resentments, that render a Man unamiable in the Eyes of the Person whose Affection he sollicits.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
True love never goes without respect; and its counterfeit is often obliged to feign it, till an occasion serves to throw it out of... the windows.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding-sheet;... When I my grave have made Let winds and tempests beat: Then down I'll lie as cold as clay. True love doth pass away!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Mie love ys dedde, Gon to hys death-bedde,... Al under the wyllowe tree.
Waterre wytches, crownede wythe reytes, Bere mee to yer leathalle tyde. I die; I comme; mie true love waytes. Thos the damselle spake, and dyed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is thought a disgrace to love unrequited. But the great will see that true love cannot be unrequited. True love transcends the ...unworthy object, and dwells and broods on the eternal, and when the poor interposed mask crumbles, it is not sad, but feels rid of so much earth, and feels its independency the surer.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Am I in love? ... If in love, where's the sweetheart? Is it the noble-hearted F___ or the giddy, young, black-eyed E___ who fills ...my thoughts? Do feeling and judgment go together? I feel the strong longing, but not the fixed attachment which belongs to the true love. The settled object is wanting. It is useless to attempt to cast myself free from the cords which a too warm imagination throws about me. The only cure is marriage. If that is not the specific I may as well despair of ever making even a respectable figure in life; ... I am almost wholly worthless.... With me too, believing as I do, or have, that it was a part of my patrimony to be gifted with more than the ordinary allotment of what is called "common sense." I must be in the chrysalis state, neither a boy nor a man; not in love and yet not whole of heart. Well I hope I shall be safely delivered soon, for if I am not, woe to the future!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
