Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
Let not one single life have passed in vain. What really matters is who you love and how you love.
You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
Love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite
Love life, engage in it, give it all you've got. love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.
I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.
Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.
