It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

You make me want to be a better man.

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.

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

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

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.

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

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

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.
