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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

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

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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 the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
