What is Love?

January 25, 2011

in Life in General

Poets and philosophers have been trying to explain it for years. Enter the EtsyBloggers Team with their own answers:

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.” – Sophocles

“To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia.” – H.L. Mencken

“Love doesn’t make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”   – Elizabeth Browning

“Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” – Mark Twain

 And finally, a little ditty by Dorothy Parker. No one could say it better:

“Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.”
- Dorothy Parker
