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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

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

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

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 love we give away is the only love we keep.

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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 does not dominate; it cultivates.

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