Quote DB :: Authors :: Edmond and Jules de Goncourt :: View Quote View Quote "Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Edmond and Jules de Goncourt Listed in: Love Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.78  Rate Quote 18 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Edmond and Jules de Goncourt "If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion." Top 5 quotes from Love "Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding." "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." "Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained." "Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
