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

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

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

We are most alive when we're in love.

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

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

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

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.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

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

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

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
