Love

I adore him… I have never been so happy. I have real love.
Princess of Wales Diana

Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love.
Ayn Rand

To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

when you are always on my mind and my heart hurts when you are gone what is it that i feel, if it is not love

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.
Sir Hugh Walpole

A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal. There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she's really attractive.
Bruce Friedman

Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.
Antoine De Saint-Exupery

"My heart is a red rose. When happy, it sparkles brillianly. When sad it bleeds and forms a dark puddle under it. When my heart dies, the soft fragile petals fall. So you might want to put your rose in a vase."
Claire Charmont

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
Herman Hesse

Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.

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.
Barbara De Angelis

Love is like a game of chess: One false move and you're mated.

My beloved is only water, which is always flowing, and doesn't deceive, which is always flowing, and doesn't change, which is always flowing, and doesn't end.
Juan Ramón Jiménes

To love another person is to see the face of God. [Les Miserables]
Victor Hugo

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
Erich Fromm

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

Two separate, distinct personalities, not separate at all, but inextricably bound, soul and body and mind, to each other, how did we get so far apart so fast?
Judith Guest

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.
George Sand

There is no remedy for love than to love more.
Henry David Thoreau

If you're looking for love in these eyes, walk away. I've been blinded before!

Love is blind. It will take over your mind. What you think is love, is truly not. You need to elevate your mind.
Eve

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still alive.

Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.

And then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will yes.
James Joyce
