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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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.

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

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

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

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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

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

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

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

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

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

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

We are most alive when we're in love.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

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

Love is a friendship set to music.
