To understand Love

The bard William Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets describe love in an immortal way. We do not have to go deeper.

Love is not love, which alters when its alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken. – Sonnet 116

On love being blind

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore, is winged cupid painted blind. – A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, scene 1, Lines 240—241

On love being the calm in our chaos

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain. – Venus and Adonis, line 799

On facing problems in relationships

The course of true love never did run smooth. – A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, scene 1, line 136

On love and longing

When you depart from me, sorrow abides and happiness takes his leave. – Much Ado About Nothing, Act 1, scene 1, lines 99—100
