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

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

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

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

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

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

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

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

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

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.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

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

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

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

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

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.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

We are most alive when we're in love.
