Letitia Elizabeth Landon Love Quotations

Childhood, whose very happiness is love.

a preface is a species of literary luxury, where an author, like a lover, is privileged to be egotistical ...

Our first love-letter ... There is so much to be said, and which no words seems exactly to say - the dread of saying too much is so nicely balanced by the fear of saying too little. Hope borders on presumption, and fear on reproach.

Truly, a little love-making is a very pleasant thing ...

... true love is like religion, it hath its silence and its sanctity.

Strange the affection which clings to inanimate objects - objects which cannot even know our love! But it is not return that constitutes the strength of an attachment.

The lover and the physician are each popular from the same cause - we talk to them of nothing but ourselves ...

Do anything but love; or if thou lovest and art a woman, hide thy love from him whom thou dost worship; never let him know how dear he is; flit like a bird before him; lead him from tree to tree, from flower to flower; but be not won, or thou wilt, like that bird, when caught and caged, be left to pine neglected and perish in forgetfulness.

We love music for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch.
