H. L. Mencken
  • Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

  • Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.

  • Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

  • To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia - to mistake an ordinary young woman for a goddess.

  • A man always remembers his first love with special tenderness, but after that he begins to bunch them.
