love

"There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her."

"I have loved to the point of madness; that which is called madness, that which to me, is the only sensible way to love."

"Then, one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...you give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore."

"When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness."

"Love is an art. Mine could fill a museum the size of your heart."

"They said that love was terrifying and tender, wild and sweet, and none of it made any sense.But now I knew that every mad word was true."

"If you claim to be a real friend then be real in your soul. If you claim to be fake then be an enemy instead."

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

"It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill."

"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not."

"You were you,and I was I;we were twobefore our time.I was yoursbefore I knew,and you have always been mine too."

"I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past, I want it to be in the future."

"Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words 'for ever.' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it."

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."

"I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it."

"When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it."

"Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life."

"I was dead, then alive.Weeping, then laughing.The power of love came into me,and I became fierce like a lion,then tender like the evening star."

"Love wins, love always wins."

"Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied."
