Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

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

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.

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

Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another.
