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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we 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.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

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

Love is a friendship set to music.
