Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.

If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.

Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.

And I ask why am I black, they say I was born in sin, and shamed inequity. One of the main songs we used to sing in church makes me sick, 'love wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

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.

Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

True love stories never have endings.
