It has been said that love robs those who have it of their wit, and gives it to those who have none.

Paradoxe sur le Comédien (1773 - 1777)Denis Diderot
» Denis Diderot - all quotes »
Manhood stands tall and high, and becomes madness;
The self takes leave of being and becomes ecstasy.
When iron sated with blood embraces love,
It turns into a bewildered sitar string.
When time robs man of love and the loved one,
He sees the beloved’s glory and his own.
How man sprouts when he sits down in dust!Ghani Khan
The soul looks to God under two aspects or forms: First as the object of all its affections, or as an infinitely good and lovable being, and this imagine robs the heart; and insofar as he is good, infinitely beautiful, this is, infinitely perfect, he captures our intellectual vision, our thoughts and meditations.
In this regard, the theological virtues and their gifts cause God and the soul to become on single thing through love and purity of thoughts. While this divine union takes place primarily and mainly in the soul, all the other virtues are like aids, attendants and armies of that guard, assist and protect this work. This is the love of God for the soul and the love of the soul for God.Francisco Palau
Slang is the speech of him who robs the literary garbage carts on their way to the dumps.
Ambrose Bierce
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
Edmund Burke
He's utterly melodic and hopelessly romantic, and when he performs live, he robs the air from your lungs. Oh, and he's devoid of any charisma or star power whatsoever.
