Love is not consolation. It is light.

To fear love is to fear life, and those whose fear life are already three parts dead...

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

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.

Love would never leave us alone.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

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.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

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

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

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space

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?'

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

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

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated.

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it's over.
