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.

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.

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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 is a friendship set to music.

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

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

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

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

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

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

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

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.

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