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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

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

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

I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

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

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

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

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

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

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