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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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.

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

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

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.
