Fran Lebowitz Love Quotations

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw. The second you meet someone that you're going to fall in love with you deliberately become a moron. You do this in order to fall in love, because it would be impossible to fall in love with any human being if you actually saw them for what they are.

If you can stay in love for more than two years, you're on something.

The main symptom of falling in love is that you lose your intellectual prowess.

What starts love is your ability to stupefy and blind yourself to the point of being able to fall in love. What stops it is waking up.

People who get married because they're in love make a ridiculous mistake. It makes much more sense to marry your best friend. You like your best friend more than anyone you're ever going to be in love with. You dont choose your best friend because they have a cute nose.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one.

The thing you love right away, don't do it, because that's the very thing that's going to be your addiction for the rest of your life.

I love being in love. I don't think anything compares with it, though I consider it very disruptive.
