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.

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

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

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

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

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

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

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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