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

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

If you could only love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world.

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

Love is the hardest habit to break, and the most difficult to satisfy.

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

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war love is a growing up.

People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

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