“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”
Carl Gustav Jung
“In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs”

“In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing”
Mignon McLaughlin
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”
Erica Jong
“True love always makes a man better, no matter what woman inspires it”
Alexandre Dumas Père
“Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“The one predominant duty is to find one's work and do it.”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
