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

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

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