Love

O my Lord, if I worship You from fear of Hell, burn me in Hell. If I worship You from hope of Paradise, bar me from its gates. But if I worship You for Yourself alone, grant me then the beauty of Your Face.

Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred.

I have needed love money and intimacy. I wish to God you need them too. That is all.

It makes me happy to think that she is sitting somewhere on a bench reading a book I wrote.

It's hard to hate, and it never pays to haggle.

The first symptom of love in a young man is timidity; in a girl, boldness.

Man is in love and loves what vanishes, what more is there to say?

Love is like a boomerang which returns to the hand of its sender.

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

A voice at dawn, or at the darkening of the day, calls out: I love you!

You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: she wanted storms.

Poets are always asking who could love them, and I shall be singing a song in the answer.

Love buries us without shroud or coffin.

What is any heart aching for but to be read?

The earth is our house. We are all the earth's children.

I want to be famous and marry a prince. My favourite book is 'Alice in Wonderland'.

It is frightful not to love, what a setback to be unable to love!

Life doesn't matter, it isn't significant or serious or how different it may be at all levels, love makes it so.

I have many favorite words, but I'm not sure that I love any words.

I am not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are found after this life, not in this life; but in this life I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love.
