Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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 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.

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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

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

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

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

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

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

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

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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