It is impossible to love and to be wise.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

You make me want to be a better man.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

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.

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

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.
