Quote DB :: Authors :: Bertrand Russell :: View Quote View Quote "Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Bertrand Russell Listed in: Love Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.5  Rate Quote 12 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Bertrand Russell "War does not determine who is right - only who is left." "A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short." "The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get." "We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought." "Love is, above all, the gift of oneself." 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."
