"Into enkulu kunazo zonke oyoke uyifunde ukuthanda nje, futhi uthandwe nawe."
Umbono kaJustice Anthony Kennedy weningi ku-Hodges v. Obergefell
“Awukho umshado ojule njengomshado, ngoba uhlanganisa izimiso eziphakeme kakhulu zothando, ukwethembeka, ukuzinikela, ukuzidela, nomndeni. Ekwakheni isibopho somshado, abantu ababili baba into enkulu kunangaphambili. Njengoba abanye babaceli kulezi zimo bebonisa, umshado uhlanganisa uthando olungase lukhuthazelele ngisho nokufa. Kungaqondana nala madoda nabesifazane uma bethi abawuhloniphi umqondo womshado. Isicelo sabo siwukuthi balihloniphe, balihloniphe ngokujulile kangangokuthi bafune ukuzitholela ukugcwaliseka kwalo. Ithemba labo alikona ukulahlwa ukuphila isizungu, ngaphandle kwesinye sezikhungo ezindala kakhulu zempucuko. Bacela isithunzi esilinganayo emehlweni omthetho. UMthethosisekelo uyabanikeza lelo lungelo.”
UBarbara Cage
“Uthando luwukubambisana kwabantu ababili abahlukile abaveza okuhle kakhulu komunye nomunye, futhi abaziyo ukuthi nakuba bebahle njengabantu ngabanye, bangcono nakakhulu uma bendawonye.”
I-Wild Awake ka-Hilary T. Smith
“Abantu bafana namadolobha: Sonke sinemizila nezingadi nophahla oluyimfihlo nezindawo lapho amahlumela amila khona phakathi kwemifantu eseceleni komgwaqo, kodwa isikhathi esiningi esibonisana ngaso siwukubuka nje kwekhadi leposi lesibhakabhaka noma isikwele esiphucuziwe. Uthando lukuvumela ukuthi uthole lezo zindawo ezicashile komunye umuntu, ngisho nalezo abebengazazi ukuthi zikhona, nalezo abebengacabangi ukuzibiza ngezinhle.”
I-Warsan Shire
“Lapho ngithanda, ngithanda: ngokuphelele, ngokuphelele, ngokuphelele, ngicwila kukho konke. Konke ukubuka nje kungaba ingxoxo, amehlo adlala nje futhi asho okufanele kushiwo. Kuthuleke kudume umoya, kube nzima. Ngiyakufuna. Nginifuna nonke.”
Ubuciko Bomshado nguWilferd Arlan Peterson
“Kumelwe usungulwe umshado omuhle.
Emdwebeni womshado izinto ezincane ziyizinto ezinkulu --
Akukaze kube mdala kakhulu ukubambana ngezandla.
Kuyakhumbula ukuthi 'ngiyakuthanda' okungenani kanye ngosuku.
Ayisoze yalala ithukuthele.
Kuwukuba nomqondo ofanayo wamagugu kanye nezinjongo ezifanayo.
Ime ndawonye ibheke umhlaba.
Kwakha umbuthano wothando olubuthana emndenini wonke.
Iwukukhuluma amazwi okwazisa nokubonisa ukubonga ngezindlela ezicabangelayo.
Kuwukuba namandla okuthethelela nokukhohlwa.
Inikezana umkhathi lapho ngamunye angakhula khona.
Ithola indawo yezinto zomoya.
Kuwukusesha okuvamile kwabahle nabahle.
Akukhona nje ukushada nomlingani ofanele --
Ukuba nguzakwethu ofanele.”
Maya Angelou
“Uthando alunamigoqo. Igxuma izithiyo, yeqe uthango, ingene ezindongeni ukuze ifike lapho iya khona igcwele ithemba.”
Umculi Womshado
“Ngifuna ukukwenza umamatheke noma nini lapho udabukile
Hamba nawe lapho isifo samathambo sisibi
Engifuna ukukwenza ukuguga nawe
Ngizowuthola umuthi wakho uma isisu sakho sibuhlungu
Ukwakhela umlilo uma isithando somlilo siphuka
Oh kungase kube kuhle, ukuguga nawe
Ngizokukhumbula
Qabula wena
Ngikunike ingubo yami uma ubanda
Uyakudinga
Okuphakelayo
Ngisho uvumele ubambe isilawuli kude
Ngakho ake ngihlanze izitsha kusinki yethu yasekhishini
Lala uma uphuze kakhulu
Ngingaba indoda eguga nawe
ngifuna ukuguga nawe”
U-Amy Tan
“Ngifana nenkanyezi ewayo ekugcineni eseyitholile indawo yayo eduze kwenye emlaza omuhle, lapho siyobengezela khona phakade emazulwini.”
Ngithwala inhliziyo yakho nami” by ee cummings
"ngithwala inhliziyo yakho nami (ngiyayifaka
inhliziyo yami) angikaze ngibe nayo (noma yikuphi
ngiyahamba, sithandwa sami; nanoma yini eyenziwayo
nguwe kuphela okwenzayo, sithandwa sami)
ngiyesaba
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet) ngiyakufuna
awukho umhlaba (ngobuhle ungumhlaba wami, iqiniso lami)
futhi nguwe noma yini inyanga ebilokhu isho
futhi noma yini ilanga eliyohlala licula nguwe
nansi imfihlo ejulile akekho owaziyo
(nansi impande yempande nehlumela lehlumela
nesibhakabhaka sesihlahla esibizwa ngokuthi ukuphila; elikhulayo
kuphakeme kunomphefumulo ongathemba noma ingqondo ingacasha)
futhi lesi yisimangaliso esenza izinkanyezi zihlukane
ngithwele inhliziyo yakho (ngiyithwele enhliziyweni yami)”
"Ayinasihloko" nguChristina Rossetti
“Yini isiqalo? Uthando.
Yini course. Uthando namanje.
Yini inhloso. Umgomo uthando.
Egqumeni elijabulisayo.
Akukho lutho-ke ngaphandle kothando?
Sesha thina isibhakabhaka noma umhlaba
Akukho lutho ngaphandle koThando
Inenani elingapheli:
Zonke izinto ifulegi kodwa Uthando kuphela,
Zonke izinto ziyehluleka futhi ziyabaleka;
Akusekho lutho ngaphandle koThando
Sifanele mina nawe.”
"Futhi Nginawe" nguNikki Giovanni
Imifula inamabhange
Izihlabathi zogu
Izinhliziyo zinezinhliziyo ezishayayo
Lokho kungenza ngibe ngowakho
Izinaliti zinamehlo
Nakuba izikhonkwane zingahlaba
U-Elmer uneglue
Ukwenza izinto zinamathele
Ubusika buba neNtwasahlobo
Izinyawo zamasheya
Upelepele uneminti
Ukwenza kube mnandi
Othisha banezifundo
Isobho du jour
Abameli bamangalela abantu ababi
Odokotela bayelapha
Konke kanye nakho konke
Lokhu okuningi kuyiqiniso
Unami
Nami nginawe”
