Touching aphorisms about love

Erich Maria Remarque is an iconic writer whose works are recognized not only for vividly describing his era but also for deeply addressing human relationships and emotions. Given the historical background, expressions of love in his works are particularly vivid. Here are some aphorisms about love found in his works.

• You must love - that's all. I love everything: nature, people, trees, clouds, suffering, death - in short: life! I am an optimist, and love is the highest goal of my life.
• In love, a person must rise from purely physical love to spiritually inspired love. Many call the intoxication of the senses love. But love is first and foremost spiritual and soulful. Therefore, it does not have to be platonic, pale, and disembodied. Yes, love is intoxication. It is the intoxication of souls, not the intoxication of the senses. I despise purely physical love. The harmony of body and soul in its highest culmination, which physically unleashes itself – that is love.
• Love is not a smooth lake in which one can constantly mirror oneself. It has tides. There are shipwrecks, octopuses, and storms, treasures upon treasures and pearls. But pearls lie deep.
• If we love each other, we are eternal and immortal like heartbeats, like rain and wind - and that is a lot.
• We never love enough. Never and no one throughout life. Perhaps we always love too little, and from that come all human misfortunes.

Thought-provoking aphorisms about love

Love can transform us and make us look into deeper layers of being and togetherness. Below are some thought-provoking aphorisms about love.

Love dwells in the highest mountain peaks, far above the valleys of the mind. Love is the quintessence of existence, the highest degree of life's tension. / Jack London

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we do not know how to replenish its sources. It dies of thirst. / Anais Nin

When we are jealous, we are convinced that we love, just as we are convinced that we live when something hurts us. / Colette

Love lives in the one who loves, not in the one who is loved. Love has as high a value as the lover. To the pure, everything is pure. To the strong and healthy, everything is pure. Love, which adorns birds with the most beautiful feathers, makes everything pure and noble blossom in a clear heart. The desire to show the other only what is worthy of them makes one rejoice only in such thoughts, such deeds, which are in harmony with the beautiful image created by love. And the new surge into which the soul sinks, the holy rays of power and joy are beautiful and blessed, and they lift the heart to a greater nobility. / Romain Rolland

to put stars in a box and shake them

the moon is already spinning like a record

to count the hours on fingers

soon the sky will turn into blueberry jam

late autumn my tree is soaked

with uncensored feelings

to put stars in a box and shake them

before sprinkling them on your breasts

/ Liāna Langa

I love you

is a saying,

that's why we say it so often

Embracing,

clasped together

in one desire

for that,

which is attainable only for us

and only together,

which sprouts in thoughts of

and longing for.

Not closer not farther not earlier

not later

Everything isiloveyou

Is one single

Inexhaustible present

/ Juris Kronbergs

Then time stopped,

And that was love.

For only before love does it stop.

And seconds could be scooped up like sand

And thrown from one side to the other -

It didn't matter.

And no petals fell.

And iron did not rust.

And we no longer knew how to count.

And that was the most beautiful -

That love does not know how to count.

/ Imants Ziedonis

The wind of apple blossoms

Swirls around me in eddies.

Tributes to life have been given,

Adornments raised and laid down.

To unleash the wind...

To snow over with you

All my life

White.

/ Velta Sniķere

Let's put ear to ear

And listen

To each other

_T_191_T; Like the rustling of a snail shell:

To the depth of the sea,

To the vastness of space,

To the hearing of

The rustling of sands

In each other.

/ Velta Sniķere

...to disappear in noisy cities that slowly smell of you

in deep mornings like a quietly drying sea,

and you quietly breathe into my ear again

warm, throbbing, overripe

hallelujah.

/ Iveta Ratinīka

the silhouette you create is as real as smiles

no need to wash your face

I want your hand cream or

any dress will be good

finding your hands in my pockets

I gather them around my neck and fall for so long

as through gills so heavy is the air

around and inside

/ Krišjānis Zeļģis

I like a sleeping arm

I like to buy the big laundry detergent

because it means we will be together

at least a hundred washes

if you add dish soap

maybe even longer

/ Krišjānis Zeļģis

And then you entered

Sharp and sudden like a draft,

Like a scent that darkens everything.

You entered.

From your ardor

The blanket, lying naked on the floor,

Shrunk into a sudden ring like a bundle.

Flames tore off in fear from the candles

And ran into the darkness.

You entered.

And, smiling softly,

Took

My heart from the shelf,

Breathed upon it

And then slipped it onto your finger like a ring.

/ Aleksandrs Čaks

I rotate between

Victorian era

dresses.

Rothko paintings.

Pots of honey

and snow

smears on my face.

Herbal teas

at regular fairs

and lace patterns

In the windows.

I rotate,

unable to find

myself

without you.

/ Ilona Kravčenoka

you are my compass

in misty mornings

when the sun shines

I will see you clearly

I will be able to look into your eyes

and you will no longer be many

you will be one

the right one

dear one

the only one

/ Kristīne Spūle

one glance

of love

and the globe

calmed down

the wind in the trees

rustled peacefully

flowers came alive

a dewdrop rolled

onto the stone's cheek

the bee clung to the earth

so soft, so soft

evening came

so peaceful

so gentle

one glance

of love

and the globe

calmed down

/ Rasma Svikle

Love holds two scales in its hand:

Earth's and heaven's,

They measure each other every day.

Both in love and in hatred they rage,

Sweetening each other, hurting each other,

Intensifying each other

Beyond human capability.

/ Aspazija

You are loved differently.

Not by kisses alone;

Not only as flesh binds, -

You are loved more highly:

where the boundaries of joy and sun end,

Where only the spirit guides,

Where the soul creates

And the flesh hurries after it.

/ Aspazija

All the lines in your palm

flow to this moment.

I hope fate won't pull

black shears from its pocket.

I hope the sparks running

along your fingertips won't drown in the rain.

All the paths I walked

lead to this moment.

/ Amanda Aizpuriete
