A wonderful resource from Robotwisdom on romantic love:
Here are several thousand quotes about romantic love, set within an analysis of the normal course it takes:
* Wishing (and loneliness)
* Seeking (includes dating-advice genre)
* Hoping (the symptoms of love)
* Planning (the best intentions)
* Weighing (is this match plausible?)
* Qualms (so many things could go wrong)
* Courting [to be added as available, from here on]
* Courted
* Losing
* Loving
* Testing
* Trying
* Fading
* Bereaved/Ricorso
* Bibliography: my most-used texts, besides poetry, are Stendhal’s “Love”, Ortega y Gasset’s “On Love”, and novels by Flaubert, Tolstoy, and Iris Murdoch.
* Theory: this work is intended as a new paradigm for the social sciences, making possible computer simulations of human behavior.
