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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.
