Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

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.

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.

To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.

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

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

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
