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.
