It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

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

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

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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