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?

He whom love touches not walks in darkness

Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

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

I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

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

Men's vows are women's traitors!

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

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.

Love doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.

Love would never leave us alone.

If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you.

There was a time, when I blamed my companion if his religion did not resemble mine. Now, however, my heart accepts every form....Love alone is my religion.

Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves nor their own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.

Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.

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

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.
