When I said yes,
it implies till death,
and forever thence.

When I said love,
it connotes trust,
allied in situations tough.

And today,
when I hold your hand,
I am prepared to stand,
any trouble,
any avalanche. ~ Jasleen Kaur Gumber
Platonic Love quotes by Jasleen Kaur Gumber
The platonic love I feel for my cousin, made me write this diary ...
Leione ~ Pet Torres
Platonic Love quotes by Pet Torres
Obviously, oxytocin and vasopressin are the grooviest hormones in the universe. Pour them into the water supply, and people will be more charitable, trusting, and empathic. We'd be better parents and would make love, not war (mostly platonic love, though, since people in relationships would give wide berths to everyone else). Best of all, we'd buy all sorts of useless crap, trusting the promotional banners in stores once oxytocin starts spraying out of the ventilation system. ~ Robert M. Sapolsky
Platonic Love quotes by Robert M. Sapolsky
Platonic love is platonic nonsense. ~ Samuel Richardson
Platonic Love quotes by Samuel Richardson
Up until then it had only been himself. Up to then it had been a private wrestle between him and himself. Nobody else much entered into it. After the people came into it he was, of course, a different man. Everything had changed then and he was no longer the virgin, with the virgin's right to insist upon platonic love. Life, in time, takes every maidenhead, even if it has to dry it up; it does not matter how the owner wants to keep it. Up to then he had been the young idealist. But he could not stay there. Not after the other people entered into it. ~ James Jones
Platonic Love quotes by James Jones
I want to love the self that you say is you. ~ Suman Pokhrel
Platonic Love quotes by Suman Pokhrel
Most Russian girls usually only go in for Platonic attachments with never a thought of marriage. And Platonic love is the most troublesome sort. The princess, I fancy, is one of those women
who want to be amused, and two dull minutes with you will finish you for good. Your silence must rouse her curiosity, on conversation must leave her wanting more. You've got to play on her feelings all the time. She'll scorn public opinion a dozen times for your sake and call it a sacrifice, but she'll get her own back by
tormenting you, and then later simply declare that she can't stand you. If you don't get the upper hand, her first kiss won't give you the right to expect a second. She'll play with you till she's tired of it, then a couple of years later she'll marry some brute out of duty to Mama and persuade herself she's unhappy, because it was not heaven's will to unite her with the only man she ever loved (you that is) on account of his private's greatcoat, though under that thick grey coat there beat an ardent, noble heart.. ~ Mikhail Lermontov
Platonic Love quotes by Mikhail Lermontov
[A]s people are beginning to see that the sexes form in a certain sense a continuous group, so they are beginning to see that Love and Friendship which have been so often set apart from each other as things distinct are in reality closely related and shade imperceptibly into each other. Women are beginning to demand that Marriage shall mean Friendship as well as Passion; that a comrade-like Equality shall be included in the word Love; and it is recognised that from the one extreme of a 'Platonic' friendship (generally between persons of the same sex) up to the other extreme of passionate love (generally between persons of opposite sex) no hard and fast line can at any point be drawn effectively separating the different kinds of attachment. We know, in fact, of Friendships so romantic in sentiment that they verge into love; we know of Loves so intellectual and spiritual that they hardly dwell in the sphere of Passion. ~ Edward Carpenter
Platonic Love quotes by Edward Carpenter
I have felt so many loves so deeply: love of friends, love somewhere between friendship and romance that our society doesn't define, love of art, love of life, love of death, love of language, so many loves such a multitude more than romance. Yet I have never been in a "relationship. ~ Noella Handley
Platonic Love quotes by Noella Handley
It would seem probable that the attachment of such a one is of a tender and profound character; indeed, it is possible that in this class of men we have the love sentiment in one of its most perfect forms - a form in which from the necessities of the situation the sensuous element, though present, is exquisitely subordinated to the spiritual. ~ Edward Carpenter
Platonic Love quotes by Edward Carpenter
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you. ~ Oscar Wilde
Platonic Love quotes by Oscar Wilde
For love is a celestial harmony
Of likely hearts compos'd of stars' concent,
Which join together in sweet sympathy,
To work each other's joy and true content,
Which they have harbour'd since their first descent
Out of their heavenly bowers, where they did see
And know each other here belov'd to be. ~ Edmund Spenser
Platonic Love quotes by Edmund Spenser
I implore, make it clear to me
Just once -
Should you be only
mind, intellect, and soul
where should I go
if I wanted
to merge with you? ~ Suman Pokhrel
Platonic Love quotes by Suman Pokhrel
PLATONIC, adj. Pertaining to the philosophy of Socrates. Platonic Love is a fool's name for the affection between a disability and a frost. ~ Ambrose Bierce
Platonic Love quotes by Ambrose Bierce
Russian ladies, for the most part, cherish only Platonic love, without mingling any thought of matrimony with it; and Platonic love is exceedingly embarrassing. ~ Mikhail Lermontov
Platonic Love quotes by Mikhail Lermontov
Wither thou goest, I will go; thy people shall by my people; where thou diest, will I die, and there I be buried. ~ Cassandra Clare
Platonic Love quotes by Cassandra Clare
They see nothing indecent in sexual intercourse, whether heterosexual or homosexual, and indulge in it quite openly, in full view of everyone. The only exception was Socrates, who was always swearing that his relations with young men were purely Platonic, but nobody believed him for a moment, and Hyacinthus and Narcissus gave first-hand evidence to the contrary. ~ Lucian Of Samosata
Platonic Love quotes by Lucian Of Samosata
If there is such a thing as platonic love between a man and a woman it is the result of a profound misunderstanding, a stifling of their true and authentic impulses. ~ George Clooney
Platonic Love quotes by George Clooney
I've been wondering if in fact ideal platonic love isn't just an intensely concentrated form of what inspires the best teachers. ~ Edmund Marlowe
Platonic Love quotes by Edmund Marlowe
Ah, mate. My soul loves yours. It does. But this lifetime, my body won't get on board. ~ Molly Ringle
Platonic Love quotes by Molly Ringle
We ought to have lived in mental communion, and no more. ~ Thomas Hardy
Platonic Love quotes by Thomas Hardy
But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something even more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone I could trust more than myself. ~ David Levithan
Platonic Love quotes by David Levithan
A romantic novel is an adult fairy story, repeating the recurring symbols and images which can explain life to a woman and satisfy a powerful need within her. The need to love and be loved is vital to all human beings, but especially to women. ~ Charlotte Lamb
Platonic Love quotes by Charlotte Lamb
You barrelled your way into my world and forced me to love you against my will."
… "Don't think this wasn't hard for me, baby. Don't think you weren't the only one who didn't want to love. Because you aren't. I knew the risks, but you're worth the reward" … "I'll fight to the end of the earth for you. ~ Corinne Michaels
Platonic Love quotes by Corinne Michaels
As painful as life can be at times for people all over the world there is some component of existence, or nonexistence perhaps, operating to implement a balance and give us an opportunity to turn the horrors we've forced upon each other into something more conducive to sustaining at least minimal degrees of sanity and love. ~ Aberjhani
Platonic Love quotes by Aberjhani
love is a belief mutually held. As soon as that belief fades on either end, then poof, the whole thing falls face-flat like a tug-of-war suddenly gone one-sided. ~ David Yoon
Platonic Love quotes by David  Yoon
Peace is always loving and tranquil. ~ Debasish Mridha
Platonic Love quotes by Debasish Mridha
They smiled at each other.

Jane looked away. She picked up her mug of tea and took a sip even though it was all gone. The doorbell rang.

"That will be Celeste," said Madeline.

Great, thought Jane, continuing to pretend-sip her empty mug of tea. Now I'll be in the presence of both great love and great beauty. ~ Liane Moriarty
Platonic Love quotes by Liane Moriarty
You're beautiful. You walk wonderfully and if I were here and saw you now for the first time I'd be in love with you. If I saw you for the first time everything would turn over inside of me and I'd ache right through my chest. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Platonic Love quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
I was made to rule the darkness. ~ Rae Hachton
Platonic Love quotes by Rae Hachton
I've talked to Ash and if you take another mortal-"
"Are you threatening me, love?" He grinned at her.
"No. I'm telling you that I don't want you to replace me."
His smile faded. "Well, then . . . and if I do?"
"Then Ash will work with the other one, the Winter Queen, and they'll threaten you, hurt our-your-court. But here's the thing they don't get: I don't want you to be hurt. It would hurt me. If you let some other mortal channel that awfulness for you, that would hurt me. What they'll do to you when they find out, that will hurt me."
"And?"
"And you promised me that you wouldn't let anyone hurt me. ~ Melissa Marr
Platonic Love quotes by Melissa Marr
And I want you to know that I heard what you said in that speech,' Rider said, his voice scratchy. 'I might've saved you all those years ago, but now you've saved me,'
My heart stuttered and then sped up. I reacted without thought. Placing the book on the bed, I launched myself at Rider just as he came off the window seat. We collided. I folded my arms around him as we went down onto the floor, me partially in his lap and his arms tight around my waist, his face burrowed against my neck. I felt a tremor run through his body and then he shook in my arms. I held him tighter as he broke into pieces, and years of holding it together shattered. I held him through it all.
Then it was me who put Rider back together. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Platonic Love quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
You are the only person who can build emotional barriers, but you're also the only person who can topple them. Other people can't knock down the walls you've built, no matter how much they love you. You have to tear them down yourself because there's something worth seeing on the other side. ~ Emery Lord
Platonic Love quotes by Emery Lord
The young love and cherish people and places from which they receive the skills and the emotional support which enable them to make it in the world or to meet their basic human needs. The same people and places are often the first recipients of the frustration and anger
violence, vandalism, disrespect
of young people who are not making it well in the world. I suspect that this is the reason that personal and school property violence is increasing more rapidly than school burglary and dropout rates. ~ James P. Comer
Platonic Love quotes by James P. Comer
I found my inner bitch and ran with her. ~ Courtney Love
Platonic Love quotes by Courtney Love
Never expect someone to care for you or to care for your feelings and emotions, Everyone's fucking heartless, people just don't give a damn about your stupid feelings or your boring stories. People only know how to fool you around for their own benefits... ~ Taimoor Madni
Platonic Love quotes by Taimoor Madni
A djinn I am.
My fetters may be broke but
still they wrap round wrist and
ankle:
every djinn's possessed.

The comet they speak of and know
not where it falls,
the love that glows like a lantern
down a road which
means nothing to the fearful:
Those passing see it as a mount,
which keeps you clear of sword
and spike
but holds you up to arrows;
I pass, my shade lashed to my foot,
love eating my soul like an acid;
The dunes change places in the
night without my leave;
The walls around me and their
guards in watches
cannot halt the full moon's com-
ing to my heart
before it's even risen and I've seen
it and
its silver floods my soul.
Here it is with a mattock, shatter-
ing everything inside me.

Translated by Robin Moger ~ Hermes
Platonic Love quotes by Hermes
How people treat each other is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves. #LoveOneAnother ~ Chris Vonada
Platonic Love quotes by Chris Vonada
I love 'Glee.' I cry all the time when I watch 'Glee' because I don't know if it's satire or melodrama and that makes me feel like the writing is aware of itself, and that makes it okay to cry. ~ David Sedaris
Platonic Love quotes by David Sedaris
They realized that, in fact, the lie wasn't safe. That it threatened their existence more profoundly than the truth did. ~ Cheryl Strayed
Platonic Love quotes by Cheryl Strayed
As I was saying, King Solomon, my daughter brings with her the most powerful weapon on earth--love. ~ Mesu Andrews
Platonic Love quotes by Mesu Andrews
Every love story is a ghost story. ~ David Foster Wallace
Platonic Love quotes by David Foster Wallace
With all due respect to Mick Jagger, who is one of my idols, I think it's a mistake to leap around and sing at 53. When I started, there weren't any women I looked up to. It was Mick. I never saw anybody go on a stage and have that tongue-in-cheek attitude. It was all straight, including the Beatles. I love his attitude, hands on hips and lips out. ~ Grace Slick
Platonic Love quotes by Grace Slick
The good news is, shame has a kryptonite. Shame cannot survive under the power of love. Love defeats shame, every time.

Love says that no matter what you did which may have caused guilt, you are loved. You are lovable. You are love itself. That is the truth. And because of that, you have nothing to be ashamed of. ~ Stephen Lovegrove
Platonic Love quotes by Stephen Lovegrove
Strive to become the true human being:
one who knows love, one who knows pain.
Be full, be humble, be utterly silent,
be the bowl of wine passed from hand to hand.
(Al-Ansari) ~ Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
Platonic Love quotes by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
Loving you was as natural as breathing, and when you left, all I could I do was hold my breath. ~ K.M. Golland
Platonic Love quotes by K.M. Golland
And married peolpe always think love is the answer. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Platonic Love quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The city was alive, and so was he... ~ Kassandra Cross
Platonic Love quotes by Kassandra Cross
If you stand right at the edge of the night sky, some place where one o'clock leaves to meet two, the breeze will carry your words up to the stars. And they'll swallow your secrets until its time to hand them over to the truths in the sky- the ones that draw maps in the black.

They carve their answers into the backs of my hands, the grooves of the words running deep in my palms. ~ Marlen Komar
Platonic Love quotes by Marlen Komar
For our own part, we learned a great deal about the techniques of love, and because we didn't know the words to denote what we saw, we had to make up our own. That was why we spoke of "yodeling in the canyon" and "tying the tube," of "groaning in the pit," "slipping the turtle's head," and "chewing the stinkweed." Years later, when we lost our own virginities, we resorted in our panic to pantomiming Lux's gyrations on the roof so long ago; and even now, if we were to be honest with ourselves, we would have to admit that it is always that pale wraith we make love to, always her feet snagged in the gutter, always her single blooming hand steadying itself against the chimney, no matter what our present lovers' feet and hands are doing. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Platonic Love quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
What's helped me is having really good friends I know I can rely on. Cameron Diaz is one of the greatest friends anyone can ever have. She has so much love to give. ~ Drew Barrymore
Platonic Love quotes by Drew Barrymore
Just a moment," David said, planting a finger on the page to mark his place in his book. "What was your name ?"
"Yuri Vedenen, moi soverenyi."
"Yuri Veneden, if you upset my wife again, I will kill you where you stand."
The monk swallowed. "Yes, moi soverenyi."
"Oh, David," Genya said, taking his hand. "You've never theatened to murder anyone for me before."
"Haven't I?" He murmured distractedly, placed a kiss on her knuckles, and continued reading. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Platonic Love quotes by Leigh Bardugo
No matter how much we may study, it is not possible to come to know God unless we live according to His commandments, for God is not know by science, but by the Holy Spirit. Many philosophers and learned men came to the belief that God exists, but they did not know God. It is one thing to belief that God exists and another to know Him. If someone has come to know God by the Holy Spirit, his soul will burn with love for God day and night, and his soul cannot be bound to any earthly thing. ~ Silouan The Athonite
Platonic Love quotes by Silouan The Athonite
You will never win an unfair competition since the reward is meaningless. ~ Cass Van Krah
Platonic Love quotes by Cass Van Krah
Don't be ashamed of loving someone. You should know that someone who must be ashamed; actually that who does not know how to love someone even though know loved by someone ~ Anton Chekhov
Platonic Love quotes by Anton Chekhov
She plants love, and she grows roses. The fragrance of romance comes from the blossom that blooms in the heart. ~ Jarod Kintz
Platonic Love quotes by Jarod Kintz
Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiosity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. ~ R.D. Laing
Platonic Love quotes by R.D. Laing
Each one you take is a commitment. If you break that commitment, the gods of alcohol will punish you with a hangover so bad you'll think Satan himself took a dump on you. -Milo ~ Cora Carmack
Platonic Love quotes by Cora Carmack
If you want to be successful and happy in love, do not plead or beg, as beggars are losers; trigger her feelings for you instead - and be a winner. ~ Sahara Sanders
Platonic Love quotes by Sahara Sanders
We pardon to the extent that we love. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Platonic Love quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I thought once how Theocritus had sung
Of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years,
Who each one in a gracious hand appears
To bear a gift for mortals, old or young;
And, as I mused it in his antique tongue,
I saw, in gradual vision through my tears,
The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years,
Those of my own life, who by turns had flung
A shadow across me. Straightaway I was 'ware,
So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move
Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair;
And a voice said in mastery, while I strove,
Guess now who holds thee?
Death, I said, But, there,
The silver answer rang,
Not Death, but Love. ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Platonic Love quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I love the idea that I planned my career. I did not. It started out by getting invitations from artists that I really love and respect, to share a stage ... I've been very lucky in that I haven't had to create a five-year plan. It's evolved. ~ M. Ward
Platonic Love quotes by M. Ward
Write what you like, then imbue it with life and make it unique by blending in your own personal knowledge of life, friendship, relationships, sex, and work. Especially work. People love to read about work. God knows why, but they do. ~ Stephen King
Platonic Love quotes by Stephen King
Get up, Shahrzad al-Khayzuran. You kneel before no one. Least of all me. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Platonic Love quotes by Renee Ahdieh
Like all Herondales, his ability to love without measure, without end, was both his great gift and his great curse. ~ Cassandra Clare
Platonic Love quotes by Cassandra Clare
Pink colors my world red! ~ Anthony T. Hincks
Platonic Love quotes by Anthony T. Hincks
Excellent friend! how sincerely did you love me, and endeavour to elevate my mind until it was on a level with your own. ~ Mary Shelley
Platonic Love quotes by Mary Shelley
Burns, has spent years exploring the many avenues for adventure and fun in San Diego. The fact that you can experience the desert, snow, mountains and ocean in the course of a day has always been amazing to me. If you are really motivated, you can snow ski, surf, take a mountain hike, and race dune buggies all in one weekend, .. I grew up here and want to showcase San Diego to the world. I love San Diego. ~ Robert Burns
Platonic Love quotes by Robert Burns
