04:51"Love is merely a madness; and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punish’d and cured is that the lunacy is so
ordinary that the whippers are in love too." — ― William Shakespeare, As You Like It

09:27"Not at first sight, nor with a dribbed shot,
Love gave the wound which while I breathe will bleed;
But known worth did in mine of time proceed,
Till by degrees it had full conquest got.
I saw, and liked; I liked, but loved not;
I loved, but straight did not what love decreed;
At length to love’s decrees I, forced, agreed,
Yet with repining at so partial lot.
Now even that footstep of lost liberty
Is gone, and now like slave-born Muscovite
I call it praise to suffer tyranny;
And now employ the remnant of my wit
To make myself believe that all is well,
While with a feeling skill I paint my hell." — Astrophil and Stella Sonnet 2 - Philip Sidney

Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time." — T.S. Eliott

17:53"This is the monstruosity in love, lady - that the will is infinite and the execution confined; that the desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit." — Troilus, Troilus and Cressida, Act III scene ii (via allthingsleftbehind)
