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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

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.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

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

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

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.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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.

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