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

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.

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

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

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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 so short, forgetting is so long.

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

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

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

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

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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