To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

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.

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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.

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

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.
