A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

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

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

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

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

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.

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

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

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

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

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

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.

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

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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