""A heart set on love will do no wrong,"" declared Confucius. This compact gift book presents an international assortment of romantic ruminations from ancient and modern philosophers, playwrights, poets, novelists, commentators, critics, actors, and others. Contributors range from Ovid to D. H. Lawrence, with quips from Goethe, Shakespeare, Wilde, Stendhal, Li Po, and other eminently quotable figures. Wise, worldly, sentimental, and cynical, these words of love will touch hearts all year long.
