Best Quotes about Love

Love is inseparable from knowledge.

Macarius of Egypt, St.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same kind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of literature and speech and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.

Eliot, George
