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

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

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.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

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

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.

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 many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.

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.

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.
