Things are beautiful if you love them.
-Jean Anouilh

The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
-Joseph Addison

Love is a second life; it grows into the soul, warms every vein, and beats in every pulse.
-Joseph Addison

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.
-Woody Allen

In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person.
-Margaret C. Anderson

Love is acceptance. When you love someone . . . you take them into your heart, and that is surely why it hurts so much when we lose someone we love, because we lose a part of ourselves.
-Andrew

We women take love too seriously. Men wish to be loved with laughter, not with sighing. So laugh, sweetheart, laugh, or soon you may be weeping.
-Minna Thomas Antrim

He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
-Wystan Hugh Auden

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
-Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
-Richard David Bach

It is impossible to love and be wise.
-Sir Francis Bacon

The world has little to bestow Where two fond hearts in equal love are joined.
-Anna Letitia (Aikin) Barbauld

Love is just a system for getting someone to call you darling after sex.
-Julian Barnes

A broken heart is what makes life so wonderful five years later, when you see the guy in an elevator and he is fat and smoking a cigar and saying "Long Time, No See."
-Phyllis Battelle

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
-Henry Ward Beecher

We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.
-Henry Ward Beecher

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.
-Henry Ward Beecher

The key to overcoming aloneness and a feeling of uselessness for one who is physically able is to step outside yourself by helping others who are truly needy. We promise those who will render this kind of service that, in some measure, you will be healed of the loss of loved ones or the dread of being alone. The way to feel better about your own situation is to improve someone else’s circumstances.
-Ezra Taft Benson

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

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
-Josh Billings

The secret of art is love.
-Émile Antoine Bourdelle

How does one measure time? No, not in day, months, or years. It is measured by the most precious of all things: Love. Without which all beings and things whether brave and/or beautiful would perish.

Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass.

If you love something set it free; if it returns its yours forever, if not it was never meant to be.

It's much easier to turn a friendship into love, than love into friendship.

The only true love is love at first sight; second sight dispels it.
-Israel Zangwill

What is love? I've been crushed, beaten, bruised, broken, and torn apart by what you call love. To me, love is something . . . somewhere . . . that embraces you, and when it is through . . . tears you to pieces, and leaves you lying in the dust forever.
-Dave Workman

Love, they say, enslaves and passion is a demon and many have been lost for love. I know this is true, but I know too that without love we grope the tunnels of our lives and never see the sun. When I fell in love it was as though I looked into a mirror for the first time and saw myself. I lifted my hand in wonderment and felt my cheeks, my neck. This was me. And when I had looked at myself and grown accustomed to who I was, I was not afraid to hate parts of me because I wanted to be worthy of the mirror bearer.
-Jeanette Winterson

You'll get over it...' It's the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The articularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?
-Jeanette Winterson

Now I know I’ve got a heart, because it’s breaking.
-Tin Woodsman

Men always want to be a woman's first love; women have a more subtle instinct: what they like is to be a man's last romance.
-Oscar Fingall O’Flahertie Wills Wilde

When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her. When one is in love one begins by deceiving oneself. And one ends by deceiving others. This is what the world calls a romance.
-Oscar Fingall O’Flahertie Wills Wilde

When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long deep bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.
-Denton Welch

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.
-Mae West

Touch is the magic wand of intimacy. Love is keeping in touch.
-Denis Waitley

Marriage is like a three-speed gearbox — affection, friendship, love. It is not advisable to crash your gears and go right through to love straightaway. You need to ease your way through. The basis of love is respect, and that needs to be learned from affection and friendship.
-Peter Ustinov
