All you need is love
by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
A Valentine's Day collection of lyrics, sayings, poems and quotations on the subject of love
``Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called er, er, phil-er, yes, good-deed doers, and their hearts are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven't got: a testimonial. Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection. And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.''
Frank Morgan giving a heart to Jack Haley in THE WIZARD OF OZ
``Being
in love is
better than
being in jail,
a dentist's
chair or a
holding pattern
over Philadelphia, but
not if he doesn't love you back.''
LOVE & GUILT & THE MEANING OF LIFE, ETC. by Judith Viorst
``But if you love him,
you'll forgive him
even though he's hard to understand.
And if you love him, be proud of him,
cause after all he's just a man.
Stand by your man,
give him two arms to cling to
and something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man and
show the world you love him.
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.''
STAND BY YOUR MAN by Billy Sherril and Tammy Wynette
``Love it the way it is.''

``Forgive me for startling you with the impetuosity of my sentiments, my dear Scarlett - I mean my dear Mrs. Kennedy, but it cannot have escaped your notice that, for some time past, the friendship I have felt for you has ripened into a deeper feeling. A feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred - dare I name it? Can it be love?''
Clark Gable to Vivien Leigh in GONE WITH THE WIND
``But to love her
is to meet her everywhere,
knowing that love is to share;
each one believing that love never dies,
watching her eyes
and hoping I'm always there.
To be there and everywhere, here, there and everywhere.''
HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
``And when two lovers woo,
They still say I love you,
On that you can rely,
No matter what the future brings,
As time goes by.''
AS TIME GOES BY by Herman Hupfield
``The emotion, the ecstasy of love, we all want, but God spare us the responsibility.''
LOVE IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK by Jessamyn West
``One advantage of marriage, it seems to me, is that when you fall out of love with him, or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you maybe fall in again.''
LOVE & GUILT & THE MEANING OF LIFE, ETC. by Judith Viorst
``That love is all there is
is all we know of love.''
Emily Dickinson
``Another bride, another groom, another sunny honeymoon,
Another season and that's the reason for makin' whoopee.''
MAKIN' WHOOPEE by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn
``And there's true love
in a winking eye
and a sweet perfume
that lingers.
It's an `I love you'
on a new tattoo
and that diamond
on her finger.''
TRUE LOVE by Pat Alger

with the one you love,
love the one you're with.''
LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH by Stephen Stills

having to
say you're
sorry.''

THE ART OF LOVING by Erich Fromm
``How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me, that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again?''
Myrna Loy to Frederick March in THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

can't keep his mind on nothing else, he'd change the world
for the good thing he's found.
If she's bad, he can't see it,
Turn his back on his best friend
if he put her down.''
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN by C. Lewis and A. Wright
``Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.''
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
