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.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

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

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

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

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

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

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.

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

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

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