Additional quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer

Love will not be constrain'd by mastery.
When mast'ry comes, the god of love anon
Beateth his wings, and, farewell, he is gone.
Love is a thing as any spirit free.

Who shall give a lover any law?’ Love is a greater law, by my troth, than any law written by mortal man.

Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge
With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho
That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge
Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so,
And spedde as wel in love as men now do.

One flesh they are; and one flesh, so I'd guess, Has but one heart, come grief or happiness. - Geoffrey Chaucer
