Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

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

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

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.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

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

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

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

Selfishness is one of the qualities apt to inspire love.

Perfect love is the most beautiful of all frustrations because it is more than one can express.

Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds that happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys.

If a thing loves, it is infinite.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

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

I learn to love it more and more.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Love is a serious mental disease.

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

Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
