enomenon that is at once more amorphous than art, more single-minded than science, and more philosophical than philosophy itself? Gathered here are some of the most memorable and timeless insights on love, culled from several hundred years of literary history — enjoy.Kurt Vonnegut, who was in some ways an extremist about love but also had a healthy dose of irreverence about it, in The Sirens of Titan:A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is.Love is like a fever which comes and goes quite independently of the will. … there are no age limits for love.C. S. Lewis, who was a very wise man, in The Four Loves:There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to 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. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby — awkwardly, and often with a great deal of mess.Susan Sontag, whose illustrated insights on love were among last year’s most read and shared articles, in As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks,thing is mysterious, no human relation. Except love.Charles Bukowski, who also famously deemed love “a dog from hell,” in this archival video interview:Love is kind of like when you see a fog in the morning, when you wake up before the sun comes out. It’s just a little while, and then it burns away… Love is a fog that burns with the first daylight of reality.Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night’s Dream:Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.Ambrose Bierce, with the characteristic wryness of The Devil’s Dictionary:Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage.Katharine Hepburn in Me : Stories of My Life:
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only with what you are expecting to give — which is everything.Philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, he of great wisdom, in The Conquest of Happiness:Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.Fyodor Dostoyevsky puts it even more forcefully in The Brothers Karamazov:What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in a letter to his ten-year-old daughter explaining the importance of evidence in science and in life:People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, otherwise you’d never be confident of things like ‘My wife loves me’. But this is a bad argument. There can be plenty of evidence that somebody loves you. All through the day when you are with somebody who loves you, you see and hear lots of little tidbits of evidence, and they all add up. It isn’t purely inside feeling, like the feeling that priests call revelation. There are outside things to back up the inside feeling: looks in the eye, tender notes in the voice, little favors and kindnesses; this is all real evidence.
Paulo Coelho in The Zahir: A Novel of Obsession:Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.
