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

Our first and last love is self-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 the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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