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

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

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.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

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