Plato's Quotes:

"Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods."

"Love is born into every human being; it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature."

"If a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest."

"Love is the pursuit of the whole."

"Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."

"To love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way."

"Many men are loved by their enemies, and hated by their friends, and are the friends of their enemies, and the enemies of their friends."

"No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return."

"Of all the Gods, Love is the best friend of humankind, the helper and healer of all ills that stand in the way of human happiness."

"I cannot eat, I cannot drink; the pleasures of youth and love are fled away: there was a good time once, but now that is gone, and life is no longer life."
