Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

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.

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.

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

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

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

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
