There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

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

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

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

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