Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds, it dies of weariness of witherings of tarnishings.

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

You can't blame gravity for falling in love.

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

We loved with a love that was more than love.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force.

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves or rather loved in spite of ourselves.

We are not actually equal - humanity - if we are not allowed to freely love one another.

Most people would rather give than get affection.

The real love is to love them that hate you, to love your neighbor even though you distrust him.

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go."

Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable.

I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love.
