Do you have to have a reason for loving?

Love is like a flower-you've got to let it grow.

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

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

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

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

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.

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

I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.

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.

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

In the absence of love, we began slowly but surely to fall apart.

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

Whoever loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Love is a serious mental disease.

Never pretend to a love which you don't actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.

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

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
