Love comes from blindness,
Friendship comes from knowledge.

L'amour vient de l'aveuglement,
L'amitie de la connaissance.

Roger de Rabutin, Comte de Bussy

Another quote from the 1660s

Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maples, singing songs, drinking water and diverting ourselves in just floating, floating; caring not a whit for the poverty staring us in the face, refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current: this is what we call ukiyo.

Another quote about Love

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the end of Being and ideal Grace.
