We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

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

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

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

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

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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.

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.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

Our first and last love is self-love.
