A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Hate the sin and love the sinner. Traditional saying - not first said by him.

I still believe that all you need is love.

Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it. Jotted (in German) on the margins of a letter to him (1933).

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always.

If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

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.

Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings.

Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.

The fickleness of the women I love is only equaled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.

Each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved.

Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our intellects.

When I saw Terri in the crowd, I looked up and our eyes met, and my heart just went, "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" - just started thumpin'. It was love at first sight! I know this sounds like it's coming out of some Mills & Boon love novel, but it's true! Love at first sight!

The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty and to someone else if she is plain.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
