In true love, you attain freedom

If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love

Finally in love after so many years of sterile complicity, they enjoyed the miracle of loving each other as much at the table as in bed, and they grew to be so happy that even when they were two worn-out old people they kept on blooming like little children and playing together like dogs.

Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it

To truly love someone, you must love their flaws and imperfections as much as their strengths.

True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.

True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one’s companion.

I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disninterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her.

Responsibility and danger do not tend to free or stimulate the average person’s mind- rather the contrary; but wherever they do liberate an individual’s judgement and confidence we can be sure that we are in the presence of exceptional ability.

TFtrurue love is born from understanding.

If a man really loves a woman, of course he wouldn’t marry her for the world if he were not quite sure that he was the best person she could possibly marry.

True love leaves no traces, if you and I are one, it’s lost in our embraces, like stars against the sun.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source.

Sometimes, love feels like a life or death situation. Losing true love is pretty much as bad as it gets, other than actually dying or losing good health. Most people know that. Most people can relate. It’s like the end of the world.

I just [don’t] understand why true love shouldn’t be the end-all, be-all.

A touch from your real love, it’s like heaven taking the place of something evil.

True love never has a happy ending, because there is no ending to true love.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.

I know of only one dut

There is no love of life without despair of life

It is necessary to fall in love… if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway

I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.
