Gabriel García Márquez:

İnsan aşktan vazgeçerse yaşlanır.

James Joyce:

‎Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another's soul.

Mary Wollstonecraft:

Aşkın tahtına nihayetinde ya dostluk, ya kayıtsızlık oturur.
