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

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

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

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

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

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.
