| Love is like a card trick. After you know how it works, it's no fun any more. |
| Love is a rose but you better not pick it. It only grows when it's on the vine. |
| If you have the woman you love, what more do you need? Well, besides an alibi for the time of her husband's murder. |
| A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle. |
| A simile is like a pair of eyeglasses, one side sees this, one side sees that, the device brings them together. |
| A simile is just a metaphor with the scaffolding still up. |
| When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. |
| Love is the wine of existence. |
| Nothing is so sensitive as love-and the greater, the more sensitive. It cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed from out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low. |
| Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. |
