Shakespeare Love Quotes

But never doubt I love.

I had rather hear my dog bark
at a crow than a man
swear he loves me.

Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the mind;
And therefore is winged
Cupid painted blind.


Love looks not with eyes,
but with the mind.

They do not love that
do not show their love. The course of true love
never did run smooth. Love is a familiar.

Love is a devil.
There is no evil angel but Love.



Sacred and sweet
was all I saw in her

Good night, good night!
Parting is such sweet sorrow

Pleasure

©     Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

Knowing What I Want

Knowing what i want for myself is so hard to decipher
Finding true love has been a total disaster
Is it brains/beauty or chemistry im after?
Heavens knows its been one stormy relationship after another.

Finding true love has been a total disaster
All of them left me feeling emptier than ever
Worn out,drained from the constant demands
Ill take this heart of mine and wield it like a scepter

Is it brains/beauty or chemistry im after?
Ive tried all three and come up asunder
Im so done with all the constant banter
Now im ready to let go of the matter

Heavens knows its been one stormy relationship after another
So very hard to ponder
Its all in the past now though
Because now im living like a total overcomer.
