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?

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

Love is too young to know what conscience is.

Love is not consolation. It is light.

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.

Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have , so to speak , pawned a part of their narcissism.

Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

Only one who loves can remember so well.

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.

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 only victory over love is flight.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

To love one that is great, is almost to be great one's self.

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

As I grow to understand life less and less,

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.

I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
