Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together—the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)

“The lover wants no partiality. He says, Be so kind as to be just.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Between the daylight gambler and the player at night there is the same difference that lies between a careless husband and the lover swooning under his lady’s window.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
