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

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

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

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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