* Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
* Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
* The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
* To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
* When you love someone, tell them. Because hearts are often broken, by words left unspoken.
* There's an evolutionary imperative why we give a crap about our family and friends. And there's an evolutionary imperative why we don't give a crap about anybody else. If we loved all people indiscriminately, we couldn't function.
* There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
* A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.
* A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
* A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.
* A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
* A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.
* For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
* How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.
* I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.
* If there is a God, whence proceed so many evils? If there is no God, whence cometh any good?
* If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
* Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.
* Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
* Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
* Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
