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

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

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

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

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

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

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

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.

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

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

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

Love is a friendship set to music.

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.

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

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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.

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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