Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

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

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

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

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

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

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

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

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

Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.

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

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

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

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.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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.

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.
