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

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

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.

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

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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.

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

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