“Jealousy is the fuel of relationships and marriage. At the same time, envy kills affection in love.”

Mwanandeke Kindembo (1996) Congolese author

“Marriage is not at all what romantic lovers imagine it to be; it is an institution founded upon an instinct; to be successful, it requires not only physical attraction, but will-power, patience, and the always difficult acceptance of "the other"; finally, if these conditions are fulfilled, a beautiful and lasting affection can be established - a unique and, to those who have never known it, incomprehensible mingling of love, friendship, sensuality, and respect, without which there is no true marriage.”

André Maurois (1885–1967) French writer

Un Art de Vivre (The Art of Living) (1939), The Art of Marriage

“People want to believe that every marriage is perfect balance but it isn't. One person always loves more deeply than the other”

“I'll never fall in love again… it's like having two souls at the same time.”

Gabriel García Márquez book The General in His Labyrinth

“It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.”

Jack Kerouac (1922–1969) American writer

This appears not to be a Kerouac quote. It has not been found in any of Kerouac's published work.

“Many marriages would be better if the husband and wife clearly understood that they're on the same side.”

Zig Ziglar (1926–2012) American motivational speaker

“Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea.”

Miguel de Unamuno (1864–1936) 19th-20th century Spanish writer and philosopher

The Tragic Sense of Life (1913), VII : Love, Suffering, Pity
Context: Consciousness (conscientia) is participated knowledge, is co-feeling, and co-feeling is com-passion. Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea. And when love is so great and so vital, so strong and so overflowing, that it loves everything, then it personalizes everything and discovers that the total All, that the Universe, is also a person possessing a Consciousness, a Consciousness which in its turn suffers, pities, and loves, and therefore is consciousness. And this Consciousness of the Universe, which a love, personalizing all that it loves, discovers, is what we call God.

“Yet falling in love is not the same as being able to love.”

Czeslaw Milosz (1911–2004) Polish, poet, diplomat, prosaist, writer, and translator
