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

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

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

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

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

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

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

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

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

Our first and last love is self-love.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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