Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
Karl Menninger
A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.
Stendhal
There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
La Rochefoucauld
Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
Alexander Smith
Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
St. Augustine
We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together.
La Bruyére
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.
John Donne
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
