Algernon Charles Swinburne
— English poet, playwright, novelist, and criticWe, drinking love at the furthest springs,
Covered with love as a covering tree,
We had grown as gods, as the gods above,
Filled from the heart to the lips with love,
Held fast in his hands, clothed warm with his wings,
O love, my love, had you loved but me!
Kathryn Stockett
— NovelistStuart stands and says, 'Come here,' and he's on my side of the room in one stride and he claps my hands to his hips and kisses my mouth like I am the drink he's been dying for all day and I've heard girls say it's like melting, that feeling.

Jorge Luis Borges
— WriterA writer needs loneliness, and he gets his share of it. He needs love, and he gets shared and also unshared love. He needs friendship. In fact, he needs the universe. To be a writer is, in a sense, to be a day-dreamer - to be living a kind of double life.
E. B. White
— Versatile Writer & Author of Beloved ClassicsThis is what youth must figure out: Girls, love, and living. The having, the not having, The spending and giving, And the meloncholy time of not knowing. This is what age must learn about: The ABC of dying. The going, yet not going, The loving and leaving, And the unbearable knowing and knowing
M. F. K. Fisher
— Pioneering Food Writer...I prefer not to have among my guests two people or more, of any sex, who are in the first wild tremours of love.

Joyce Carol Oates
— AuthorLater, her first intense, serious love affair, yes then she'd lost something more tangible, if undefinable: her heart? her independence? her control of, definition of, self? That first true loss, the furious bafflement of it. And never again quite so assured, confident.

Jorge Luis Borges
— WriterThe aesthetic event is something as evident, as immediate, as indefinable as love, the taste of fruit, of water. We feel poetry as we feel the closeness of a woman, or as we feel a mountain or a bay. If we feel it immediately, why dilute it with other words, which no doubt will be weaker than our feelings?
E. B. White
— Versatile Writer & Author of Beloved ClassicsEinstein is loved because he is gentle, respected because he is wise.

Joyce Carol Oates
— AuthorIn love there are two things - bodies and words.
M. F. K. Fisher
— Pioneering Food WriterPeople ask me: "Why do you write about food, and eating, and drinking? Why don't you write about the struggle for power and security, and about love, the way the others do?" . . . The easiest answer is to say that, like most other humans, I am hungry.
Joyce Carol Oates
— AuthorImpossible not to imagine the dead observing us. Our love for them a soft, shimmering gossamar that trails behind us.
M. F. K. Fisher
— Pioneering Food WriterOr you can broil the meat, fry the onions, stew the garlic in the red wine...and ask me to supper.
