Lovers

Famous quotes containing the word lovers:

“Most lovers ... picture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else—their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality; and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Then amongst flowers and springs,
Making delightful sport,
Sat lovers without conflict, without flame;”
—Torquato Tasso (1544–1595)

“So we must say Goodbye, my darling,
And go, as lovers go, for ever;
Tonight remains, to pack and fix on labels
And make an end of lying down together.”
—Alun Lewis (1915–1944)
