The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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.

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.

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
