An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her.

Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact

Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.

A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

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.

We are all born for love; it is the principle of existence and its only end.

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.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

A woman should soften but not weaken a man.

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

The heart will turn to a prune if love is always by the numbers. How will you know if someone really loves you if they only meet your expectations and not your needs?

Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have , so to speak , pawned a part of their narcissism.

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.

Selfishness is one of the qualities apt to inspire love.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

I am not sure exactly what Heaven will be like. But I do know that when we die and if comes the time for God to judge us, He will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' Rather He will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.
