Love has been a human constant from the beginning of our time on this world. With that in mind, looking back in time for sage bits of advice can result in a bountiful find. Who knows love? Everyone does. Either by its absence or presence. Just like you and me, many philosophers, scientists and, well, everyone has philosophized on it at one point or another. Here are the views of some well-known historical figures that may ring true to you. Ralph Waldo Emerson - Thou art to me a delicious torment. Lord Byron - Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on. Billy Graham - Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything. Albert Camus - I know of only one duty, and that is to love. Ingrid Bergmen - A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous. Sir Winston Churchill - Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl - no superior alternative has yet been found. Richard Bach - Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? James Baldwin - Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. Mozart - Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. Washington Irving - Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. Otomo No Yakamochi - Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there. Montaigne - If I am pressed to say why I loved him, I feel it can only be explained by replying: "Because it was he; because it was me." Jean Anouilh - There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy. Mark Twain - Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Rabindranath Tagore - I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever. Buddha - You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. Samuel Butler - It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all. We live and we love. It doesn’t matter if we are famous or non-descript. It doesn’t matter if we are rich or poor. In the end, love makes us richer than any coins ever could.
