For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
让一个人支爱另一个人,这或许是我们最艰巨的任务,是最终和最后的考验和证明。其它的一切只不过是前奏而已。
——Rainer Maria Rilke 里尔克
The pain of love is the pain of being alive. It is a perpetual wound.
爱的育苦即活着的痛苦,它是永恒的伤痛。
——Maureen Duffy 达菲
You can’t buy love, but you can pay heavily for it.
你不能花钱买到爱情,但你可以为之付出高昂的代价。
——Henny Youngman 扬曼
Of all pains, the greatest pain is to love, and love in vain.
苦中之苦,莫过于爱而无果。
——George Granville 格兰维尔
We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love, never so forlornly unhappy as when we have lost our love object or its love.
我们从不像恋爱时那样对痛苦毫不设防,也从不像失恋时那样凄凉悲惨。
——Sigmund Freud 弗洛伊德
Love opens your chest and opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up.
爱扒开你的胸膛,掏出你的心脏,有人就乘机侵入你的心胸把你搞得一团糟。
——Neil Gaiman 尼尔·盖曼
Love is blind, and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit.
爱情是盲目的,恋人看不到自己所做的那些可爱的傻事。

We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loves one, perfection.
我们都认为我们所爱的人都是完美的。
——Sidney Poitier 普瓦蒂
Love is a little blind. When we love someone dearly, we unconsciously overlook many thoughts.
爱情有一点盲目。当我们深爱一个人时,我们不知不觉地忽略了许多想法。
——Beatrice Sarnders 桑德斯
Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so.
情人都是傻瓜,但这是造化使然。
