Gloria Stuart

It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.
T. S. Eliot

Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.
Edna Ferber

Life should be embraced like a lover.
Rose Tremain

Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.
Gaston Bachelard

Man's love is of man's life a part; it is a woman's whole existence. In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
Lord Byron

Modesty is a quality in a lover more praised by the women than liked.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Never be unfaithful to a lover, except with your wife.
P. J. O'Rourke

No lover, if he be of good faith, and sincere, will deny he would prefer to see his mistress dead than unfaithful.
Marquis de Sade

Occasionally I still do a bit of stuff with people I met there seven years ago. It's like looking up an old lover IRL. But on the whole I've personally exhausted that avenue of research, so it no longer draws me. I did write a novel as a kind of document of that era.
Francesca da Rimini

(On seeing a former lover for the first time in years) I thought I told you to wait in the car.
Tallulah Bankhead

On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself.
Pierre Salinger

Relationships are so much a rerun of our parental relationships. We're rerunning the relationship they were in together and we're rerunning the relationship we had with them with our lover.
Kenny Loggins

She claimed she loved the camera, its warmth, its familiarity. She responded to its naked glare, its slavish attention to every expression of her face and body, with the kind of immediacy a trusted lover could expect.
Anne Edwards

She had already allowed her delectable lover to pluck that flower which, so different from the rose to which it is nevertheless sometimes compared, has not the same faculty of being reborn each spring.
Marquis de Sade

So the lover must struggle for words.
T. S. Eliot

Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.
Victor Hugo
