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

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.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

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

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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