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

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 know what love is, it is because of you.

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

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

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.

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

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

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
