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

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

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

To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Our first and last love is self-love.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

We are most alive when we're in love.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

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

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

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

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

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

You make me want to be a better man.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
