Love is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives the longest.

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

The more one judges, the less one loves.
