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

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

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

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Our first and last love is self-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.

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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 strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.

You make me want to be a better man.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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.

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

We are most alive when we're in love.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

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

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

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