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

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

The difference between the love of a man and the love of a woman is that a man will always give reasons for loving, but a woman gives no reasons for loving.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

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

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

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

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

Ultimately love is everything.

To say 'I love you' one must know first how to say the 'I'

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

This is the true measure of love, When we believe that we alone can love, That no one could ever have loved so before us, And that no one will ever love in the same way after us.

One who has loved truly can never lose entirely.

The heart was made to be broken.

So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

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.

Limited in his nature, infinite in his desire, man is a fallen god who remembers heaven.

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

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

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Women are still in emotional bondage as long as we need to worry that we might have to make a choice between being heard and being loved.
