We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
Love is a perfume you cannot pour onto others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love -- and to put its trust in life.
We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Love is the expression of simplicity in emotion, the unattainable longing that comes so unexpectedly, with great subtlety and bliss.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires; To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
