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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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 is a friendship set to music.

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

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

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.

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.

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

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.
