Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Love is not love / Which alters when it alteration finds...." "True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen." "Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other." "Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go." From the sublime to the silly, the tender to the tortured, Bartlett's Book of Love Quotations collects more than 800 of the most memorable phrases ever spoken or written about love. Culled from the venerable Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, a familiar friend to reference-book lovers everywhere, these quotations concern themselves with all kinds of love, from romantic and passionate to familial and spiritual. They also feature an eclectic array of sources, including classic texts by Homer and Dante as well as 20th-century pop songs by the likes of Mick Jagger. Handsomely bound and illustrated with attractive line drawings, Bartlett's Book of Love Quotations makes a perfect gift for any lover in your life.
