Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

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

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

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

We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.

In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
