"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."
"It is passion that is in a kiss that gives it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it."
"Love is just friendship set to music."
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
"Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret."
"I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth."
"The simple lack of her is more to me than others' presence."
"True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does."
"To be in love is merely to be in a state of perpetual anesthesia: to mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god or an ordinary young woman for a goddess."
"The first sigh of love is the last breath of wisdom."
"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew."
"Your voice makes me tremble inside, and your smile is an invitation for my imagination to go wild."
"I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart."
"The heart wants what it wants... There's no logic to those things."
"Fear? What is there to fear in love? Love is the very reason we live. To fear love is to lose all sense of living, and if we cannot love, then why have we been put here? Fearing love is like being afraid of breathing. It's not something to be scared of. It's something so natural that no one can resist."
"Love? It's kind of complicated, kid -- but I'll tell you this. The second you're willing to make yourself miserable to make someone else happy -- that's love right there."
"And think not you can direct the course of love -- for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."
"Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."
"Is not a kiss the very autograph of love?"
"Lust is when you love what you see. Love is when you lust for what's inside."
"You love somebody, and then you don't love them anymore. But if you really love somebody, you always love them, don't you? Isn't there always some small part of you that reads their horoscope in the paper everyday?"
"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips."
"Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness."
"Sometimes the perfect person for you is the one you least expect."
"Love is like playing the piano. First you learn to play by the rules. Then you must forget the rules and play from the heart."
"Kisses kept are wasted, love is meant to be tasted."
"You'll always know when the right person walks into your life."
"You don't know the meaning of true love if you think it can be deliberately selected. You just love, that's all. A natural force, irresistible."
"We heat up because of the fire, but we burn because of our desire."
"The problem with being passionately in love is that it deprives you of too much sleep."
"To see and feel one's beloved naked for the first time is one of life's pure, irreducible ephiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes."
"I love you. I love every little thing about you. Your sexy smile, the sound of your voice, the magic in your eyes. I love your gentle touch and the warmth I feel at your side. I love dreaming about you. I love discovering you and letting go with you. I love each and every once-in-a-lifetime moment I share with you...Today...tomorrow...forever."
"The heart knows when the search is over."
"When you fall in love... I guess nobody ever does mean to fall in love. But it happens, and love brands itself on your brain. It's like a new street appearing overnight in the city you've lived in your whole life. The street is one way -- you can't turn around and get off it -- and it curves up ahead so that you can only see far enough to know that you are veering into the unknown."
"She is the smile in my heart -- the smile I've waited a lifetime to find."
"Love is soft and hard at the same time. Like water, it is soothing and refreshing, but who can withstand the raging flood."
"Passionate love is a quenchless thirst."
"Now for me some words come easy, but I know that they don't mean that much, compared to the things that are said when lovers touch..."
"The only wrong thing would be to deny what your heart truly feels."
"It isn't possible to love and to part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal."
"At the first kiss, I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept deep within me came awake, everything was transformed and enchanted, everything made sense."
"Love is the most important ingredient of success. Without it, your life echoes emptiness. With it, your life vibrates warmth and meaning. Even in hardship, love shines through. Therefore, search for love -- because if you don't have it, you're not really living -- only breathing."
"All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction."
"Nothing breaks the silence like a kiss."
"I'd rather have a moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."
"My heart smiled when you kissed my lips. What a sweet surprise."
"Love is when thoughts of but one woman fill your heart, when she means more than life to you, when you know you would do anything for her and shall die if she is taken from you. Desire is when you ache to see her and touch her, when she causes your body to burn and tremble. Desire does not demand love before it can ensnare you, but desire with love creates a powerful bond."
"Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough."
"The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end."
"We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first."
"The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only...Nothing is more real than these great shocks which two souls give each other in exchanging this spark."
"Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd."
"Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild."
"Being deep loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
"The art of love... is largely the art of persistence."
"Love is a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others. Love -- the feeling -- is a fruit of love the verb."
"Holding the heart of another in the comforting hands of prayer is a priceless act of love."
"A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love."
"To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and finish without knowing what you have written."
"Romance is about the little things -- small loving gestures, hugs, saying "I love you" (and meaning it), and sincere compliments."
"Love is blind only to the eyes. The heart sees everything clearly."
"Love and electricity are one and the same, m'dear...if you do not feel the jolt in your soul every time a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt, then you're not really in love at all."
"Look into my eyes and you will see what your love is doing to me. My eyes have learned to smile."
"The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender."
"A kiss is the jumper cable of the heart."
"The most intimate kiss between two lovers is not the kiss of their lips, but the kiss of their tears."
"You know you are in love when you desire to share the most simple things with her. You think of her whenever something happens to you... you desire to tell her how beautiful the moon was as it appeared on the horizon, or how gorgeous the sunrise was as it peaked through the clouds at dawn. You know you love her when you exit a stuffy building and think of her when you feel the gentle breeze on your face... you wish she were there... to share the moment. You know you love her when you want her to feel what you feel...each moment of each day."
"I laugh at lust and I laugh at distance, for I know my love is true. She is my destiny and I know."
"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly."
"True love is when you're still dancing, long after the music has stopped."
"When you are in love, an hour apart feels like a lifetime, but together, that same hour feels like a second in paradise. I want to be in paradise forever."
"I knew it was hopeless when I found myself writing the following my journal: 'It seems that I've accepted and embraced all of his immutable faults. In fact, I think that's what I've come to love most about him.'"
"You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it, a treasure just to look upon it, all the riches of the night. You say you'll give me eyes in a moment of blindness, a river in a time of dryness, a harbor in the tempest... But all I want is you."
"Inside the heart of each and every one of us there is a longing to be understood by someone who really cares. When a person is understood, he or she can put up with almost anything in the world."
"Your eyes were closed, your lips were sweet -- and one soft kiss meant joy complete."
"I have watched her in stillness, how still and white and long. I have followed her about with my eyes, how silent and swift and strong. When she is still, it is musical. When she moves, it is song."
"Love is when you look into someone's eyes and suddenly you go straight to their soul, and you both know instantly."

"The spaces inbetween our fingers were created so that another person's fingers could fill them in."
"The feeling of losing oneself in somebody's arms, yet at the same time finding oneself there, is irreplacable... nothing compares to that feeling."
"When you smiled, you had my undivided attention. When you laughed, you had my urge to laugh with you. When you cried, you had my urge to hold you. When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever."
"Searching for love is like checking your mailbox on a Sunday -- you can look all you want but you'll never have mail... letting love come to you is just like receiving a surprise package from UPS... you might have just gotten out of the shower and look like a mess, but it doesn't matter 'cause it came."
"If I could give everyone one piece of love advice, it would be once you find the one you've spent your whole lifetime searching for, don't give them up without a fight. Never let them just walk right out of your life. Whatever you do, don't let them go. Hold onto them with all that you've got, because you have no guarantee that they'll be back. So, don't make the mistake that I have made. Don't just watch them leave. It could be the last time you ever see them. Don't look back on it and regret not saying the words you needed to say, or doing the things you needed to do. Because the feeling of regret will never leave you."
"We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives."
"A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believes."
"To truly love is to have the courage to walk away and let the other one who wishes to be free go, no matter how much it hurts."
"Words and love should be handled with care, for words when spoken and love when broken are the hardest things to repair."
"It breaks my heart to see the one I love happy with someone else, but it breaks my heart more if I would see her unhappy with me."
"How would you know if you've met the one you'd be willing to spend the rest of your life with? If you find yourself dreaming with your eyes open and seeing the same person when you wake up each morning."
"Look for someone is a best friend rather than someone you're in love with, because when you're old, graying, wrinkled and all, it's the friendship that endures more than the passion and the being in love."
"How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble, be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, and be hurt but never keep the pain."
"When you lose the one you love, it doesn't mean you weren't for each other. It simply means that you are too busy looking for ways to save the relationship instead of looking for ways to show your love."
"The answer to the mystery why people fall in love over and over, despite all the pain inflicted, is because the good times, no matter how brief, makes it all worthwhile."
"Love is the hardest thing to understand, explain and ignore but once it's there, you surely feel it."
"The heart is a big treasure box where I put all my treasured thoughts, dozen praises, truths, and love. Everything that is important to me, and guess what? That's where I'm keeping you."
"Genuine love is felt where it matters most -- in one's heart and soul. So if you truly believe that love has arrived, then... HUSH. Listen silently to what it says."
"Don't compare your heart to a river -- it's sometimes wide but too shallow, sometimes it's narrow but too deep. Let your love be like an ocean, unpredictable, wide and naturally deep."
"I want to be the blissful wisping wind that wraps and winds its delicate way around you. I want to be the simple breeze that softly strokes every strand of your soft velvet mane. I want to be the morning dew dangling from a luscious limp leaf s it drips destined to intersect between your perfectly parted lips. I want to be the radiant rainbow who arches your lovely loyal colors carefully over you. I want to be the soft simmering summer sun that silently slithers its smooth, soothing warmth across your sweet body. I want to be the welcomed spring rain, that calmly cools and refreshes your special sacred soul. I only want to be your everything."
"Hold me like our hearts share one soul. Hold me like you're afraid to let go. Sometimes when I need to know how much you love me, there's a simple way to show me, wrap me in your arms, listen to the beating of our hearts. Sometimes I just need you to hold me."
"That thing. That moment. You kiss someone, and it's like the world around you gets all hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this other person and you know that one person is the person you're meant to be kissing the rest of your life. And for that one moment you've been given this amazing gift and you want to laugh and cry at the same time because you're so lucky you found it and so scared that it will go away."
"His kiss was so gentle I wanted to cry. I gave everything I had to the moment. I lingered over the feel of his lips, trying to memorize every sensation. I was using my own lips to convey the strength of my feelings, to apologize for all the times I'd rebuffed him, to learn what it felt like to kiss another person with my whole heart."
"You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight long after they are gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they are gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spine. When they are the only thing you can think about. You know you are in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at 4 in the morning, say 'I love you' and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When they are hurt just because of those tears. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you are in love when you can't imagine living without them, and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them, you are incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and soul and mind all at once."
"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice but falling in love with you was beyond my control."
"If it's wrong to love you, then my heart just won't let me be right."
"Some say love makes you weak from vulnerability, I say love makes you strong from surviving the fires of passion."
"Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy... anger... tears... laughter. It's when you want to be together through it all, that's true love."
"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."
"I've noticed that being with you, I smile a little more often, I anger a little less quickly, the sun shines a little brighter, and life is so much sweeter. For being with you takes me to a different place...a place called love."
"If you judge someone, you have no time to love them."
"Love has no control and neither does one's mind when they are in love."
"The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance."
"Just as a sunbeam can't separate itself from the sun and a wave can't separate itself from the ocean; I can't separate myself from you. I am a part of you and you of me."
"Intimacy is when you can reveal your worst side...and she still likes you."
"Love creates an 'us' without destroying a 'me.'"
