Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“Modesty is a quality in a lover more praised by the women than liked.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

“Love forgives the lover even his lust.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Let it not your wonder move,
Less your laughter, that I love.
Though I now write fifty years,
I have had, and have, my peers;
Poets, though divine, are men:
Some have loved as old again.
And it is not always face,
Clothes, or fortune gives the grace,
Or the feature, or the youth;
But the language, and the truth,
With the ardour and the passion,
Gives the lover weight and fashion.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
