Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.

This is the true measure of love, When we believe that we alone can love, That no one could ever have loved so before us, And that no one will ever love in the same way after us.

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

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?'

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end.

Ultimately love is everything.

I learn to love it more and more.

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

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.

Do you have to have a reason for loving?

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

Be careful of love. It'll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.

Women are still in emotional bondage as long as we need to worry that we might have to make a choice between being heard and being loved.

He whom love touches not walks in darkness

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

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

Love is not consolation. It is light.

Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.

Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.

Speak low, if you speak love.
