Love Sayings from famous people...

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon

C. S. Lewis

Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.

If I am not worth the wooing, I am surely not worth the winning.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

On reflection, one of the things I needed to learn was to allow myself to be loved.
Isha McKenzie-Mavinga

To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia -- to mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god or an ordinary young woman for a goddess.
H. L. Mencken

Love cures people -- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
Karl Menninger

...the more the soul knows, the more she loves, and loving much, she tastes much.
W. H. Murray

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Anais Nin

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

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
Rainer Maria Rilke

The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
Tom Robbins

Come out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.
Rumi

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.
Rumi

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.

Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.

Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
Diane Arbus

We need not think alike to love alike.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.
Barbara De Angelis

Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.
Barbara De Angelis

Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.
Barbara De Angelis

Instead of a bottom-line based on money and power, we need a new bottom-line that defines productivity and creativity as where corporations, governments, schools, public institutions, and social practices are judged as efficient, rational and productive not only to the extent they maximize money and power, but to the extent they maximize love and caring, ethical and ecological sensitivity, and our capacities to respond with awe and wonder at the grandeur of creation.
Michael Lerner

If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.
Barbara De Angelis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy
Francis of Assisi

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
Oscar Wilde

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love.
Henry Miller

The modern fairy tale ending is the reverse of the traditional one: A woman does not wait for Prince Charming to bring her happiness; she lives happily ever after only by refusing to wait for him -- or by actually rejecting him. It is those who persist in hoping for a Prince Charming who are setting themselves up for disillusionment and unhappiness.
Susan Faludi

At the center of nonviolence stands the principle of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.
Henry Miller

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much a heart can hold.
Zelda Fitzgerald

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love.
Mohandas K. Gandhi

Kindness trumps greed: it asks for sharing. Kindness trumps fear: it calls forth gratefulness and love. Kindness trumps even stupidity, for with sharing and love, one learns.
Marc Estrin

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
William Arthur Ward

Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.
George Jean Nathan

For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide.
Thomas Mann

Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.
Peace Pilgrim

All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life.
Jean Goss

Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works, whether we accept it or not. The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists. Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings.
Mohandas K. Gandhi

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.
Rumi

To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I am beautiful because you love me?
Oscar Hammerstein, II

Love: a temporary insanity, curable by marriage.
Ambrose Bierce

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.
Margaret Anderson

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
St. Augustine

The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.
James Baldwin

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
Ingrid Bergman

Whosoever loves, believes the impossible.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all of life's hazards, save one -- neglect.
James D. Bryden

You call it madness, but I call it love.
Don Byas

The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.
Truman Capote

I love you, Not only for what you are, But for what I am, When I am with you.
Roy Croft

Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.
Barbara De Angelis

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
Barbara De Angelis

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.
Saint Francis de Sales

Earth's the right place for love. I don't know where it's likely to go better.
Robert Frost

Where there is love there is life.
Mohandas K. Gandhi

Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert Heinlein

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Katharine Hepburn

If I know what love is, it is because of you.
Hermann Hesse

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
Hermann Hesse

I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time.
Hobbes (of Calvin and ...)

Tell me whom you love and I will tell you who you are.
Houssaye

Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.
Zora Neale Hurston

Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones

The sage said, "The best thing is not to hate anyone, only to love. That is the only way out of it. As soon as you have forgiven those whom you hate, you have gotten rid of them. Then you have no reason to hate them; you just forget.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
Helen Keller

If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Ann Landers

Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
Ursula K. Le Guin
