About love
This feeling inspires artists, musicians, poets, writers, directors and other representatives of the creative world. How many wonderful works are dedicated to love! For centuries, people have tried to find the most accurate formulations that would reflect the essence of this spiritualizing feeling. There are poetic, philosophical and even humorous phrases. A lot has been written and said about love in English, let’s try to collect the most interesting examples.
Love is blind. - Love is blind.
It is difficult to argue with this statement, but there is another that can better clarify the idea expressed.
Love isn't blind, it just sees what matters. - Love is not blind, it only sees what is really important.
The next aphorism continues the same theme. It is originally in French, but is presented here in English. These beautiful and precise words belong to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. - Only the heart is vigilant. You can't see the main thing with your eyes.
Another beautiful saying characterizes not only the feeling itself, but also loving people.
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. — To fall in love does not mean to find, but to learn to accept the imperfect.
And finally, let’s give a humorous one. However, it contains a rather serious meaning.
