Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“The old lover to himself: “Once more round the maypole, to see what I have missed.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

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

“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)
