James Thurber Love Quotations

A lady of 47 who has been married 27 years and has six children knows what love really is and once described it for me like this: 'Love is what you've been through with somebody'.

Love is blind, but desire just doesn't give a good goddamn

I love the idea of there being two sexes, don't you?

I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.

Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.

Love is what you've been through with somebody.

It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

A lady of forty-seven who had been married twenty-seven years and has six children knows what love really is and once described it for me like this: 'Love is what you've been through with somebody

But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing.
