I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

In your life, my infinite dreams live.
