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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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.

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.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

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

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

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

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