We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.

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

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

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

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

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.

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

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.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

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.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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