Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

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.

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

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

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

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

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

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.
