“Who can deceive a lover?”

“Happy are the beloved and the lovers and those who can live without love.”

“Who can give law to lovers? Love is a greater law to itself.”
Quis legem det amantibus? Maior lex amor est sibi.

“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”

“No oath can be too binding for a lover.”

“Lassoes can catch the wild horses
that flee over the hills.
But nothing, not even incantations
can hold a wild beloved
who has stopped loving
her lover.”

“He is not a lover who does not love forever.”

“And you,
You can be mean
And I,
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers,
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers,
And that is that”

“And when you see a man who is repining at the approach of death, is not his reluctance a sufficient proof that he is not a lover of wisdom, but a lover of the body, and probably at the same time a lover of either money or power, or both?”

“How stupid lovers can be! But if they were not, there would be no story.”
