Love Affair Quotes

“Sometimes you want to say, “I love you, but…”
Yet the “but” takes away the ‘I love you’. In love their are no ‘buts’ or ‘if’s’ or ‘when’. It’s just there, and always. No beginning, no end. It’s the condition-less state of the heart. Not a feeling that comes and goes at the whim of the emotions. It is there in our heart, a part of our heart…eventually grafting itself into each limb and cell of our bodies. Love changes our brain, the way we move and talk. Love lives in our spirit and graces us with its presence each day, until death.

To say “I love you, but….” is to say, “I did not love you at all”.

I say this to you now: I love you, with no beginning, no end. I love you as you have become an extra necessary organ in my body. I love you as only a girl could love a boy. Without fear. Without expectations. Wanting nothing in return, except that you allow me to keep you here in my heart, that I may always know your strength, your eyes, and your spirit that gave me freedom and let me fly.”
― Jamie Weise

― Coco J. Ginger

If I could have had
him,
I could have let
him
go.

the having
there was
nothing—
so to the nothing
I
hold.”
― Coco J. Ginger

― Michael Bassey Johnson

“There are few things more mysterious than endings. I mean, for example, when did the Greek gods end, exactly? Was there a day when Zeus waved magisterially down from Olympus and Aphrodite and her lover Ares, and her crippled husband Hephaestus ) I always felt sorry for him), and all the rest got rolled up like a worn-out carpet?”
― Salley Vickers

“Remember thee! remember thee!
Till Lethe quench life's burning stream
Remorse and shame shall cling to thee,
And haunt thee like a feverish dream!

Remember thee! Aye, doubt it not.
Thy husband too shall think of thee:
By neither shalt thou be forgot,
Thou false to him, thou fiend to me!”
― Lord George Gordon Byron

I needed experience.
How could I write about life when I'd never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? A girl I knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in Africa. How could I compete with that sort of thing?”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Your partner’s secret love affair may be caused by the natural necessity of life to find fuller and fuller expression. There’s a constant need for evolution in our love life too.”
― Lebo Grand

“After emotions are felt, expressed, where do they go? Is there a place where spent passion collects? Surely it can't simply vaporize, disappear like smoke. There must be a secret hiding place. For every old love affair, a locked room.”
― Lan Samantha Chang, The Family Chao

“Marriage is not a love affair, it's a mutual agreement."
Marriage as a love affair:
I did that or did not do that just because I love you.
Marriage as a mutual agreement:
I did that or did not do that because I understand it can either strengthen or weaken what we are building.”
― Chidi Ejeagba

“I don't want to get landed in an affair which might get beyond my control before I knew where I was.
[...] But darling, Virginia is not the sort of person one thinks of in that way. There is something incongruous and almost indecent in the idea. I have gone to bed with her (twice), but that's all. Now you know all about it, and I hope I haven't shocked you [...]”
― Vita Sackville-West

“He had a glimpse at the figure that flitted through the smoking rooms and pages of cheap fiction -a pitiable fellow in his middle age, seeking to renew his youth by taking up with a girl who was much younger ... a fatuous, garishly got up clown at whom the world laughed out of discomfort, pity, and contempt. He looked at this figure as closely as he could; but the longer he looked the less familiar it became. It was not himself that he saw, and he knew suddenly that it was no-one.”
― John Williams

“You burn with the flames of desire for someone that doesn’t notice or pay attention. Your love affair has not even begun and the flames are now burning into your soul. You can douse the flames; you must first walk away. Only then can you be transformed.


(from the poem, Douse the Flames)”
― RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 1977

“We need to learn sensual CODES so that we don’t keep traumatizing each other but instead turn our relationships into an everyday love affair.”
― Lebo Grand

“It’s the weird fate of illicit love to cohabit with lies. But what a paradox it is that a noble sentiment like love needs the prop of a base instinct for its survival! And it’s as if the pleasures of a liaison act as intoxicants to help dampen the sense of guilt in a woman’s heart!”
― B.S. Murthy, Benign Flame: Saga of Love

“Leading with DESIRE is a decadent opportunity to create an everyday love affair with life.”

“Saya bukannya hanya menyerobot Olenka dari Wayne, tetapi juga meneropong tubuh Wayne sebagai bahan tertawaan. Saya mencapai kepuasan dalam kedua kejahatan ini. Karena sikap saya demikian, adalah tidak mustahil apabila Olenka juga memperlakukan saya seperti memperlakukan Wayne di hadapan saya. Adalah dapat diterima akal, apabila Wayne juga mempunyai hak untuk meneropong tubuh saya dan menjadikan tubuh saya sebagai bahan ejekan.”
― Budi Darma, Olenka

― Shahid Hussain Raja

“Perhaps all love affairs are nothing more than the projections of hopeful hearts looking for soft lodging in a world that would have them be hard. Perhaps.

Perhaps love is always just this; the suspension of disbelief and the fierce welcoming of a shared and altered reality.

Is not the impossible always made possible by love? The ridiculous transformed to serious? What was once only a stuff of dreams made real? If we are willing to allow it or admit it, are we not all altered by our loving?”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“This is the way of lovers, isn’t it - to overqualify their experience? Who, in the midst of rush and longing, thinks, well, this love is mundane, inconsequential, and utterly unoriginal?

No. To those in the midst of falling, all love is great love. It would be insulting to suggest otherwise.

But still, at the risk of appearing biased or overly sentimental, might I suggest that even in the truth of this, some loves are different. And this was one of them.

It is commonly accepted that a love affair is only made great by time and history and by its discovery and retelling at a time long after the love has ended, by death or leaving. Hearts broken by distance or cruelty or the ultimate fallibility of the human heart. We believe that the greatness of a love affair can only be defined and named in retrospect—after it has been documented, proven, recognized by many.

But normal rules of love do not apply here, because this was not an ordinary love.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc
