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.

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

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

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

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

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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.

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
