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

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

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

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

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

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

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

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

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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.

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

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

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.
