There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.

People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

Love is the poetry of the senses.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Love is the hardest habit to break, and the most difficult to satisfy.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins it is less difficult to know that it has begun.

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

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
