The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

We loved with a love that was more than love.

Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

For those who love… time is eternity.

‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.

A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

I need you because I love you.

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Time is: Too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.

All the time I think I can never love you more than I already do. And then you do something or say something, and I love you more than ever. Like just now. Like now. How is it possible? Can you love someone more and more and at the same time, all the time, love them as much as it’s possible to love someone?

Love is the way I feel for you, the way you fill something inside me whenever you so much as walk into the same room. Sometimes love is quite, lingering in the background until you least expect it. But love it always there for you

I could stay with you forever and never realize the time.

Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that’s what you’re feeling?

Love is more pleasant once you get out of your twenties. It doesn’t hurt all the time.

Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time.

Love is friendship that has caught fire . . .

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

It is better to remember our love as it was in the springtime.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.

We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.

The cultural transformation from the love of power to the power of love is the drama of our time.

One of my great all-time loves in cinema, and I’ve seen it three times, is Bondarchuk’s ‘War and Peace.’ Not a lot of people may have seen that film. It was made during the Soviet era.

True love is the ripe fruit of a lifetime.

I have for a long time loved fabulist, imaginative fiction, such as the writing of Italo Calvino, Jose Saramago, Michael Bulgakov, and Salman Rushdie. I also like the magic realist writers, such as Borges and Marquez, and feel that interesting truths can be learned about our world by exploring highly distorted worlds.

Something that never happens anywhere at any time.

Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship – never.
