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

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

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

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.

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

We are most alive when we're in love.

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.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

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

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

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

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

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

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

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

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