the wind,
you can't
see it but
you can
feel it.
Nicholas Sparks
3. True love is like
ghosts, which
everyone talks
about and few
have seen.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
4. Love is like a precious
plant. You can't just accept
it and leave it in the
cupboard, or just think it's
gonna get on with itself.
You gotta keep watering it.
You've got to really look
after it, and be careful of
it, and keep the flies off
and see that it's alright,
and nurture it.
John Lennon
5. Love is like a
violin. The music
may stop now
and then, but the
strings remain
forever.
June Masters Bacher
6. Love is like an
hourglass, with
the heart filling
up as the brain
empties.
Jules Renard
7. Love is like a friendship
caught on fire. In the
beginning a flame, very
pretty, often hot and
fierce, but still only light
and flickering. As love
grows older, our hearts
mature and our love
becomes as coals, deep-
burning and
unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
8. Love is just a
word until
someone comes
along and gives it
meaning.
Paulo Coelho
9. Love is an untamed
force. When we try to
control it, it destroys
us. When we try to
imprison it, it enslaves
us. When we try to
understand it, it
leaves us feeling lost
and confused.
Paulo Coelho
10. Love is that
condition in
which the
happiness of
another person
is essential to
your own.
Robert A. Heinlein
11. Love is . . .
Being happy for the
other person when they
are happy, Being sad for
the person when they
are sad, Being together
in good times, And
being together in bad
times.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE
OF STRENGTH.
Susan Polis Schutz
12. Love is of all
passions the
strongest, for it
attacks
simultaneously
the head, the
heart and the
senses.
Voltaire (not Lao Tzu)
13. Certain things in
life simply have to
be experienced -
and never
explained. Love is
such a thing.
Paulo Coelho
14. People fall in
love without
reason, without
even wanting to.
You can't predict
it. That's love.
Haruki Murakami
15. Love isn’t kind acts or
gifts wrapped with a
bow on top - although
love may lead you to do
these things. Love
means tearing down the
separateness and the
boundaries between
your heart feelings and
another person. Love is
just a feeling of
togetherness and
openness in your heart.
16. Love does
not consist of
gazing at
each other,
but looking
outward in
the same
direction.
Antoine de Saint Exupery
17. Love doesn't
grow on trees like
apples in Eden -
it's something
you have to
make. And you
must use your
imagination too.
Joyce Cary
18. Love does not appear
with any warning signs.
You fall into it as if
pushed from a high
diving board. No time
to think about what's
happening. It's
inevitable. An event
you can't control. A
crazy, heart-stopping,
roller-coaster ride that
just has to take its
course.
20. There is that awful
moment when you realize
that you’re falling in love.
That should be the most
joyful moment, and
actually it’s not. It’s
always a moment that’s
full of fear because you
know, as night follows
day, the joy is going to
rapidly be followed by
some pain or other. All the
angst of a relationship.
Helen Mirren
21. I love that
feeling of being
in love, the
effect of having
butterflies when
you wake up in
the morning.
That is special.
Jennifer Aniston
22. It was the strangest
sensation, fallin' in love.
'Bout the only thing I
compare it to would be
jumpin' off a big cliff. Once
you're past the edge, there
ain't no particular reason
to be graspin' for a line a
safety. You just keep on
fallin' anyhow, so you
might as well enjoy it the
whole way down.
Dorothy Garlock
23. Falling in love is not a
spur of the moment
thing. There wasn't
love at first sight as I
always believed there
to be. It crept and
overpowered me. Once
I was in its power, it
was the most amazing
feeling in the world.
Eveli Acosta
25. Love is uncertain. It's
incredibly risky. And
loving someone leaves
us emotionally
exposed. Yes, it's
scary, and yes, we're
open to being hurt,
but can you imagine
your life without loving
or being loved?
Brene Brown
26. I think sometimes
when we find love
we pretend it away,
or ignore it, or tell
ourselves we’re
imagining it.
Because it is the
most painful kind
of hope there is.
Rae Carson
28. If you love someone,
then your freedom is
curtailed. If you love
someone, you give up
much of your privacy. If
you love someone, then
you are no longer merely
one person but half of a
couple. To think or
behave any other way is
to risk losing that love.
Laurell K. Hamilton
29. Feelings are constantly
changing. None is
dependable for long.
You can love someone
intensely today, and
tomorrow or next
month not feel a thing.
Except perhaps for the
feeling of doubt or
depression that what
was so beautiful could
change so quickly.
Barry Long
31. Give the ones
you love wings
to fly, roots to
come back and
reasons to
stay.
Dalai Lama XIV
32. Some people
won't love you, no
matter what you
do. Some people
won't stop loving
you, no matter
what you do. Go
where the love is.
Eleanor Brownn
33. You can't make
anyone love
you. You just
have to reveal
who you are
and take your
chances.
Sheldon B. Kopp
34. The way to love
anything is to
realize that it
may be lost.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
35. You don't need
to justify your
love, you don't
need to explain
your love, you
just need to
practice your
love.
36. Love who you love
while you have
them. That's all
you can do. Let
them go when you
must. If you know
how to love, you'll
never run out.
Ann Brashares
37. Love is blind, they say
- but isn't it more that
love makes us see too
much? Isn't it more
that love floods our
brain with sights and
sounds, so that
everything looks
bigger, brighter, more
lovely than ever
before?
Susan Fletcher
38. If we want to be
loved, the way to
get it is to love. It is
not only the very
best method, but it
is the only method.
To receive love we
must love because
what we give out
must come back.
Lester Levenson
39. It would be
impossible to love
another person
without first feeling
love for yourself,
because how could
you give away
something that you
don't have.
Denis Waitley
40. Love, like everything
else in life, should be
a discovery, an
adventure, and like
most adventures,
you don’t know
you’re having one
until you’re right in
the middle of it.
E.A. Bucchianeri
42. A life of love is one
of continual growth,
where the doors and
windows of
experience are
always open to the
wonder and magic
that life offers. To
love is to risk living
fully.
43. True love heals and
affects spiritual
growth. If we do
not grow because
of someone else’s
love, it’s generally
because it is a
counterfeit form of
love.
John Bradshaw
44. It is sad
not to
love, but
it is much
sadder
not to be
able to
love.
Miguel de Unamuno
45. Love recognizes
no barriers. It
jumps hurdles,
leaps fences,
penetrates walls
to arrive at its
destination
full of hope.
Maya Angelou
49. Immature love says:
"I love you because I
need you."
Mature love says:
"I need you because
I love you."
Erich Fromm
50. If you love two
people at the
same time, choose
the second.
Because if you
really loved the
first one, you
wouldn’t have
fallen for the
second.
51. Out of our
loneliness, all of
us seek a source
of love that will fill
the lack we feel
inside. Whatever
the need is, the
person who fills it
becomes the
source of love.
Deepak Chopra
