If I know what love is, it is because of you.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.

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.

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.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.

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

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.

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

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

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

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

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

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