Importance of love

Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Jeff Zinnert

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self.
William Butler Yeats

Love is space and time measured by the heart.
Marcel Proust

I could never love where I could not respect.
Charlotte Elizabeth Aisse

Sometimes we let affection, go unspoken,
Sometimes we let our love go unexpressed,
Sometimes we can't find words to tell our feelings,
Especially towards those we love the best.

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
Voltaire

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else?
A madness most discreet,
a choking gall and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare

Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!
From the movie 'Moulin Rouge'

Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness... Love will never die.
Bryce Courtney

Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases a woman, what excites her, and what surprises her. Its actions whisper: you are the most special person in my life.
Charles Stanley

Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others' love to us.
Thomas Trahern

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations; it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
Honore de Balzac

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Sir Arthur Wing Pinero

When you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.
Leo Tolstoy

Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind.
William Shakespeare
