Beautiful and wise phrases about love

Do we need to talk about love at all? Not everyone is sure of this. If only because this feeling is uncompromising: either it is there or it is absent. The one who himself experienced love ups and downs, indescribable puppy delight and terrible shocks, no words are needed. The one who saw love only in serials is unlikely to understand the deep meaning of any well-aimed expression. And yet, humanity continues to persistently and selflessly seek beautiful phrases about love. It's about love, not about love - it's more sincere.

Well, we'll look too.

Love and folk art

Strange as it may seem, but the most apt phrases about love were invented by the people. What is the famous: “Love is evil, you will love a goat!” If we discard the simplicity and rudeness inherent in this expression, then there will be a meaning with which any psychologist will agree. We choose not with the mind, but with the heart, and we love our chosen one not for some special merits, but just like that. Love, I must say frankly, is not the fairest feeling. They love everyone: evil and ugly, sick and stupid. They also neglect all sorts: clever and beautiful people, people with a rare soul and a heart of gold. So is it any wonder that the objects of our passionate feelings often do not live up to expectations,and their actions are quite comparable with the mentioned animal? But we desperately love them too: love is really evil!

A. S. Pushkin about love

As you know, the great Russian poet was a great expert in the field of love relationships. It is to his pen that the most famous phrases about love belong. For example, the famous "Love is submissive to all ages." True, not everyone knows that the generally accepted meaning of these lines is clearly at odds with the original. In the novel "Eugene Onegin", from which this phrase is "pulled out", the author glorifies only a young, youthful feeling. But the opera version is much closer to all of us, when the mentioned words are followed by: “Her impulses are beneficial both to a youth in the prime of life, who has barely seen the light, and to a fighter with a gray head, scorched by fate.” The reason why the original did not take root is not difficult to understand. The heart of a person at any age is tuned to feelings, so those words that feed this love fire, and do not try to extinguish it, become closer and more understandable.

By the way, the poet has other phrases about love, which are also quoted inaccurately. Here is an example: “The less we love a woman, the more she likes us” (in the original: “the easier she likes us”). And this inaccuracy did not take root by chance. Pushkin, with his “easier”, probably spoke not so much about love as about flirting, for which lightness, serenity, and the absence of suffering are natural. But the option “the more”, it seems, was invented by a person burned by an unrequited feeling. He loved passionately and passionately, butdid not find reciprocity, and his strong feelings for someone turned out to be a burden. Hence the seemingly correct conclusion: you can’t love so much, less feelings - or rather results! But is such a statement really true? Who knows!

About love and wisdom

A lot of different and contradictory things have been written about feelings, and yet in this heap of thoughts there are really smart phrases about love. Here is one of them: “Never marry a woman with whom you can live. Marry the one you can't live without.”

Sounds, at first glance, tricky. But after the second, third, tenth reading, the meaning of these words becomes obvious. Contrary to all the talk about the only half intended for a person from above, people on their life path usually meet several partners with whom they are comfortable, and they can try to build an alliance. But love is not when a person is good. Love - when it's impossible without it!

Great about love

Many famous people are known not only for their deeds and achievements. Their pen belongs to wonderful phrases about life and love, which are perceived with interest, and sometimes with enthusiasm, by the public. Here are just a few of those expressions. “Love is like luck: it does not like to be chased” (T. Gauthier). Or: “Love is not an external manifestation, it is always inside us” (L. Hay), “The tragedy of love is indifference” (S. Maugham).

It is possible to list such phrases for a long time, and not every one of them can be easily agreed upon. But one thing is certain: all these people are wellunderstood what they were talking about. They knew about the deep feeling firsthand!

Many of those who own the most apt expressions clothed their thought in a rude, mocking form. "The most stupid woman can handle the smartest man, but only the smartest can handle a fool." This wonderful phrase belongs to R. Kipling. Well, how to argue with her? A woman certainly won't do that!

Often the authors of popular expressions remain unknown, but this does not in the least prevent one from admiring the meaning of what was said. Here are some short phrases about love: “I came, I saw, she won”; "Love is conquered only by flight"; "Love is a toothache in the heart." The list of such aphorisms is truly amazing. But even more impressive is the diversity of human feelings and the uniqueness of the love experience of each person who decides to share their findings.

Faina Ranevskaya on the same topic

The great Soviet actress Ranevskaya is known not only for her striking film roles, but also for her witty expressions. The actress was not too happy in her personal life, so the phrases she uttered about love and family are both funny and full of bitterness. At one of her meetings with the audience, a young girl asked Ranevskaya: "What is love?" The answer was short: "I forgot." True, after a moment, the actress clarified: “I remember that this is something very pleasant.” Other phrases of the great actress are filled with the same bitter irony. “Family replaces everything. Therefore, before you start it, you should think about what is more important to you: everything or family. More:“A fairy tale is when he married a frog, and she turned out to be a princess. But the reality is when it’s the other way around.”

Conclusion

Once upon a time, a popular Soviet song claimed: "Don't talk about love - everything has been said about it." But apparently not all the words have been spoken yet. New people come into the world, break their hearts with love, and then turn their own tragedy into some memorable phrase. But is it always worth trusting someone else's love experience? Isn't it better to find your own, really priceless? It's true: feelings can be bitter. And yet it is better to experience this bitterness yourself than to judge love only by other people's phrases.
