It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

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

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.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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 in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

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