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

Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.

All love is vanquished by a succeeding love.

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

Where there is love there is life.

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
