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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

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

True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

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.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.

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

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

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

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

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

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