Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

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

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.
