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.

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

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 most alive when we're in love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

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

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

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

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