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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

Our first and last love is self-love.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.
