To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give.

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

I don't go by the rule book ... I lead from the heart, not the head.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

I love you very much, probably more than anybody could love another person.

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever.

Love is the whole thing. We are only the pieces.

Oh, here's an idea: Let's make pictures of our internal organs and give them to other people we love on Valentine's Day. That's not weird at all.

All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

When you put your arms around me, you let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do.

Some people are worth melting for.
