Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to her mother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Some have for endeavour
To sign away life
As lover to lover....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all. Circumspection and devotion are a contradiction in terms.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
