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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

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

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

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.

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

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

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

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

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

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.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

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

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