The highest function of love is that it makes the loved one a unique and irreplacable being.
What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.
When we got married - almost 10 years ago now - we made a commitment to really be together, which means we hardly ever spend a night apart. And being madly in love is important, but I think it's equally important to be in deep like! I like this guy... we talk about everything, and we laugh a lot. Life is good!
The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end.
You may not be able to help whom you are attracted to, but you can choose to whom you love and how. That is to say that love is a commitment that your heart and your mind make. It is an active and ever-evolving process, a conscious choice that takes effort and maintenance.
I recently learned that Lake Como is one of the most romantic places two people could go. That beautiful great lake is a majestic reminder that love is unconditional when you flow and nourish one another, constantly and unconditionally, like water.
A major part of love is commitment. If we are committed to someone, if I'm committed to loving you, then it's not possible for me to 'fall out of love.'
Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it.
Love is space and time measured by the heart.
Love is the total absence of fear. Love asks no questions. Its natural state is one of extension and expansion, not comparison and measurement.
It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.
However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience.
Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin - it's the triumphant twang of a bedspring.
I think I was the only person in my experimental film class doing comedy. But my sense of humor and a lot of comedy that I love is quite surreal and strange, you know? You could argue that 'Monty Python' is experimental film. It just happens to be really funny.
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
Love is bumping along together with the people in your life and making mistakes and trying to make them right by virtue of the fact that these are people you actually love; you care about them enough to muddle through it with them.
I think love is a really hard thing to define. I think it's multifaceted.
Love is about mutual respect, apart from attraction.
