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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

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

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

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