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

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

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

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

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

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

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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