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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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.

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

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

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

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

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