"If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love’s sake only." ― Elizabeth Barrett Browning Topic(s): Love More From Elizabeth Barrett Browning "The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, ‘Let no one be called happy till his death;’ to which I would add, ‘Let no one, till his death, be called unhappy.’" "The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness." "Who so loves believes the impossible." More In Love "You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It’s one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear."― Aldous Huxley "I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable."― Anne Morrow Lindbergh "Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding."― Diane Arbus
