Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

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.

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

You can't blame gravity for falling in love.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

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

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Where there is love there is life.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
