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.

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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 does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

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 make me want to be a better man.

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

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.
