You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

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

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

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

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.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

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

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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