Quote DB :: Authors :: John Donne :: View Quote View Quote "Love is agrowing, to full constant light; and his first minute, after noon, is night." - Copy to Clipboard   --  John Donne Listed in: Love Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 3.5  Rate Quote 2 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from John Donne "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent." "More than kisses, letters mingle souls." "Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies." "Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right." 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." "I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." "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."
