Product Description
More than just quotes about romance, Words of Love gathers together wit and witticisms, lyrics and sonnets, proverbs and outrageous declarations that will touch, entertain, and even make readers laugh out loud. This collection spans over 2,000 years, with hundreds of eclectic themes surrounding love--from Attractions and Affairs to Indecency and Intimacy to Wooing and Wrinkles.
Whatever the topic, readers will find it here: Organized by theme, there are thousands of quotations under hundreds of headings for whatever stage of romance you are in (or wish you were in). Words of Love brings readers the fun and the quirky, the pithy and the unorthodox, from Ovid to Brownings, from D.H. Lawrence to Camille Paglia.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

A well-versed quote compendium May 4, 2001
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Quotes have an intriguing quality to them; They offer new and often differing viewpoints on any and every aspect of life. This book claims to have a 'collection of over 3000 quotes.' Seeing its daunting size, there is little doubt to the accuracy of that statement. While mostly about love, the quotes vary in genre from 'Wrinkles' to 'Safe Sex,' from 'Gossip' to 'Lingerie.' The quotes have a vast range of emotion behind them... humor, spite, truth, and independence included. Examples include: "I am tired of all this nonsense of beauty being only skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want- an adorable pancreas?" (Jean Kerr, page 32) "At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." (Plato, page 248) "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth/For thy love is better than wine." (Song of Songs, page (212) There are a variety of authors, as the book says, though it tends mostly to have many lines from the 1800's-early 1900s. For anyone who loves romance (or lack thereof) and quotes, this book is definately a good buy.
