“Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain”
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950) American poet
Sonnet XXX from Fatal Interview (1931)
Context: Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–1894) Poet, essayist, physician
What we all think; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). Compare Browning, Paracelsus: "God! Thou art love! I build my faith on that".
“Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”

Context: Before God, there is neither Greek nor barbarian, neither rich nor poor; and the slave is as good as his master, for by birth all men are free; they are citizens of that universal commonwealth which embraces all the world, brethren of one family, and children of God.
“To know nor faith, nor love, nor law, to be
Omnipotent but friendless, is to reign.”
