Amorous Quotes
Romance across centuries, from classical poetry to a memoir's title.
These amorous quotes stretch from a classical address to the 'amorous heart' and its cruel dart, to a quieter London evening spent listening to amorous thrushes outside an open window. A writer's own memoir even borrows the word for its title. For more on affection in general, see Anger quotes for the emotion it's often set against.

Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke, how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway, and those are punished most, who most obey.
