Quotable Lover

What other three little words mean more than the simple phrase "I love you"? As Dorothy L. Sayers so succinctly summed it up: "And what do all the great words come to in the end, but that?" Through the ages, love, and the pursuit of it, has been the motivating force behind humanity's most noble and most ignoble acts. It has also been the wellspring of some of our most profound writings. In The Quotable Lover you will find more than five hundred unforgettable quotations from this rich vein - some of them are wise, some silly, others are hopeful and still others are heartwrenching - but all express something important about this most baffling, enchanting, and compelling emotion. Covering everything from puppy love to the unrequited kind, you'll find quotations from poets to politicians, including: Colette, Daphne du Maurier, Helen Fielding, Victor Hugo, Zora Neale Hurston, Henry James, Doris Lessing, Christopher Marlowe, Nora Roberts, J. D. Salinger, Andy Warhol, Oscar Wilde A perfect gift for the perfect - and not-so-perfect - lover in your life, this delicious collection brings out the lover in all of us.Butler, Nancy is the author of 'Quotable Lover' with ISBN 9781592280094 and ISBN 1592280099.
