"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
C.S. Lewis
"Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved."
Borje Vahamaki
"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
C.S. Lewis
"You are what you love. Not what loves you."
Charlie Kaufman
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
Anais Nin
"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."
Mother Teresa
"To give and not expect return, that is what lies at the heart of love."
Oscar Wilde
"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."
Henry Van Dyke
"Love doesn't make the world go round. Love makes the ride worthwhile."
Franklin Jones
"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
Victor Hugo
"I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes -- and the stars through his soul."
Victor Hugo
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
Robert Frost
"Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else."
George Bernard Shaw
"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were."
Kahlil Gibran
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
Aristotle
"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."
Kahlil Gibran
"Real love stories never have endings."
Richard Bach
"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."
Edmond and Jules de Goncourt
"There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation than for bread."
Mother Teresa
"Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.'"
Erich Fromm
