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?

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

To find yourself, think for yourself.

Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

Men's vows are women's traitors!

The flowering of love is meditation.

The love of heaven makes one heavenly.

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

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.

The only victory over love is flight.

Do you have to have a reason for loving?

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

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

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

It is good to love many things, for therein lies strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done with love is well done.

It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

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

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.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.
