Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“When my lover came to bed,
the knot came untied
all by itself.
My dress,
held up by the strings of a loosened belt,
barely stayed on my hips.
Friend,
that’s as much as I know now.
When he touched my body,
I couldn’t at all remember
who he was,
who I was,
or how It was.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

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

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