"Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother." ― Friedrich Nietzsche Topic(s): Love Tags: called, matches More From Friedrich Nietzsche "Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?" "Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful; and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm." "All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking." More In Love "A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language."― W. H. Auden "Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."― Marcus Aurelius "Romantic love is mental illness. But it’s a pleasurable one. It’s a drug. It distorts reality, and that’s the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw."― Fran Lebowitz
