To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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.

Some people care too much. I think it's called love.

But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.

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?'

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

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

We love the things we love for what they are.

We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.

Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object?
