We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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.

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

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

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 in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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.

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

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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.

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

Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.

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

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
