LOVE (1972)
“Let those love now who never loved before;
Let those who always loved, now love the more.”
Translation of the Pervigilium Veneris, written in the time of Julius Caesar, and by some ascribed to Catullus: Cras amet qui numquam amavit; Quique amavit, cras amet.
“Love so joyfully and freely given can never be taken away. It is never truly gone.”

“Love me tender, love me sweet,
Never let me go.”
"Love Me Tender" (1956), the lyrics of this song are credited to Presley and co-writer Vera Matson, but were primarily written by Matson's husband, Ken Darby, who when asked why he credited his wife as co-writer with Presley replied "Because she didn't write it either."

Context: [About Chicago:] It's every man for himself in this hired air. / Yet once you've come to be part of this particular patch, you'll never love another. Like loving a woman with a broken nose, you may well find lovelier lovelies. But never a lovely so real.
As quoted in Dig, Plant, and Grow! (2009) by Louise Spilsbury, p. 13
