Plato about love

“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”

“Love is a serious mental disease.”  
“The madness of love is the greatest of heaven's blessings” 
“Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge. ” 
 “According to greek mythology, humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4 legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.” 
“Love is simply the name for the desire and the pursuit of the whole.” 
“You're my Star, a stargazer too, and I wish that I were Heaven, with a billion eyes to look at you!”  
“...and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment...” 
“…if a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest.” 
 “Then the lover, who is true and no counterfeit, must of necessity be loved by his love.” 
“There is no such thing as a lover's oath. ”
