This quote by Thomas Parnell, is perfect to describe the charisma of summer and summer love:

Let those love now who never loved before; Let those who always loved, now love the more.

The most prominent difference among the two perhaps is the fact that infatuation is temporary and fades off with time, while love is permanent and strengthens with time. Some famous quotes about infatuation compiled below will give you a clear idea about how it is caused, and how it fades away.

"Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners." - Judith Viorst

"Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us." - George Eliot

"The essence of love begins when infatuation ends." - Anonymous

"No one can understand love who has not experienced infatuation. And no one can understand infatuation, no matter how many times he has experienced it." - Mignon McLaughlin

"Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence." - Jim Morrison

"I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year." - Edna St. Vincent Millay

"I stalk about her door like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks staying for wattage." - William Shakespeare

"We don't believe in infatuation love until after the first attack." - Anonymous

"It's so easy to be infatuated with someone but hard to find that someone who will catch you." - Anonymous

"When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years." - The Beach movie (2000)

The fact that love and infatuation start in a similar manner makes it very difficult to differentiate between the two, especially in the beginning. Irrespective of whether you are in love or it's just infatuation, your mind ponders on one and only one question in the beginning - am I in love with him. While bonding strengthens in case of love, feelings fade away in case of infatuation and that's what makes people believe that love is a divine feeling, while infatuation a mere physical attraction. You don't quite have to worry about how to get over a crush as it tends to fade off with time, and infatuation is no different from this.

Love Quotes and Poems

O Mistress Mine

O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.
What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies not plenty;
Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

Love Sonnet 1

From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

Love Sonnet 40

Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all;
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;
All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.
Then if for my love thou my love receivest,
I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest;
But yet be blamed, if thou thyself deceivest
By willful taste of what thyself refusest.
I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief,
Although thou steal thee all my poverty;
And yet, love knows, it is a greater grief
To bear love's wrong than hate's known injury.
Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,
Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes.

Tell Her That's Young

Tell her that's young,
And shuns to have her graces spied,
That hadst thou sprung,
In deserts where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died
Small is the worth,
Of beauty from the light retired,
Bid her come forth,
Suffer herself to be desired,
And not to blush so to be admired.
Then die - that she,
The common fate of all things rare,
May read in thee,
How small a part of time they share,
That are so wondrous sweet and fair !

Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee
