We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

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

I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

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.

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

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

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

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

True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

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

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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.

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