True love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.
The highest happiness on earth is the happiness of marriage.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.
I'm not explaining this right. What happened was this. There were these beautiful feelings and loose little pleasures inside me. And this woman was something like an assembly line for my soul. I run these little pieces of myself through her and I come out complete. Now do you follow me?
Love is not a matter of getting what you want. Quite the contrary. The insistence on always having what you want, on always being satisfied, on always being fulfilled, makes love impossible.
No one, but no one, ever behaves 'well' in bed unless they love or are loved - two conditions seldom fulfilled.
People are starving for love, not knowing their heart is a magical kitchen. Open your heart. Open your magical kitchen and refuse to walk around the world begging for love. In your heart is all the love you need. Your heart can create any amount of love, not just for yourself, but for the whole world.
I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever.
An unsatisfied woman requires luxury, but a woman who is in love with a man will lie on a board.
I am happier when I love than when I am loved. I adore my husband, my son, my grandchildren, my mother, my dog, and frankly, I don't know if they even like me. But who cares? Loving them is my joy.
When we are looking for validation, that will never satisfy us. When we are looking for affection, for love, a little bit of that will be enough to be complete.
Love requited is a short circuit.
This is the basis for the joy of love when there is joy; we feel that our existence is justified.
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
Marriage can be more an exultant ecstasy than the human mind can conceive. This is within the reach of every couple, every person.
Paradise is to be the ultimate instrument, fulfilling God's desperate intent that we love each other.
Your greatest achievement is to love me.
All of us, consciously or unconsciously, set out to have the best possible love life. Valentine's Day simply shines a light on the degree to which that didn't - or hasn't yet - materialized.
The cute thing about being in a relationship is that you always miss being around your partner. After marriage, the good part is that you've got them forever. You have everything you wanted, and there's nothing more to achieve.
A happy love needs to be reciprocated.
Love, whether it's friendship or more, is like a cup. It fills up drop by drop, until one last drop and the cup is full. The liquid hangs there almost above the rim, hangs there on surface tension alone and you know that one more drop and it will spill over.
There is nothing like seeing the man you love with your child.
I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.
All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
It was, at last, real life, with my heart safe and condemned to die of happy love in the joyful agony of any day after my hundredth birthday.
