I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die; You hope you've found that special rose, 'Cause you love and care for the one you chose.
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.
If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to giveâwhich is everything.
Ama me fideliter! Fidem meam noto: De corde totaliter Et ex mente tota, Sum presentialiter Absens in remota." Lat: "Love me faithfully!/See how I am faithful:/With all my heart/And all my soul/I am with you/Though I am far away. - Carmina Burana, "Omnia Sol Temperat".
The definition of a beautiful woman is one who loves me.
Love means never having to say you're sorry.
Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.
Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.
Those who love deeply never grow old.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much.
We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first.
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. {2} If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. {3} If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. {4} Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are lovedâloved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Where there is great love, there are always wishes.
I love you; not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved.
