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

If you wished to be loved, love.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

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

Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

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

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
