True love12 quotes
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can. — Anne Bradstreet · 1672Where true love is, it showeth; it will not feign. — Christine de Pizan · 1399Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom. — William Shakespeare · 1609I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love,
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me. — Edgar Allan Poe · 1849I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, it was never meant to be. — Wayne Campbell · 1992But true Love is a durable fire,
In the mind ever burning;
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning. — Sir Walter Raleigh · 1580All 12 quotes →Love8 quotes

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Or bends with the remover to remove.
