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.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

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

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

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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.

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

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

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

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

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
