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

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.

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

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

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

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 can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

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

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.

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

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

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

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

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
