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

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.

Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.

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

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

It is very easy to love alone.

The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

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