I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep.

When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility.

In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.

The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.

I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don’t.

When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.

Our love, our gratitude, our admiration for our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families – all of that is bigger than any one party or any one election.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.

I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.

Sometimes, I want to talk on a song and be angry, because I am angry. Then there’s always a part of me that remembers that this record lives past my being angry, and so do I really want to be angry about that? Is that feeling going to have longevity?

For me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it’s love, and I believe that love is the answer.

It’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun.

A true man hates no one.

All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.

The noblest spirit is most strongly attracted by the love of glory.

I love New York. I’m a guy for whom a New York accent is a comforting thing.

We loved with a love that was more than love.

Man’s nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

Fiction is not necessarily about what you know, it’s about how you feel. That is the truth about fiction, and the other truth is that all science is a tool, and we use our tools not to actualise what we know, but to implement how we feel.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

Then, when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

I just have a thing in my brain that when I’m about to do something that’s genuine or authentic, I think of it in song form. I’ll be like, ‚Yo, this is a human emotion that no one talks about.‘

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.

We do not judge the people we love.

No, I’m not anguished and tormented.

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

My mother taught children to love to dance.

It’s hard for anybody who’s been with me not to feel starved for affection when I’m making love to my ideas. Maybe it’s not meant for me to settle down and be married.

For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them.

You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author’s world.

I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset – tears are words waiting to be written.

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.

I think it is a sin to look at another person as inferior to yourself because of race or because of ethnic background, and I think the greatest thing to do is to pray that God will give you love for them, and I do.

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community.

I don’t really know that much about love, it turns out.

When I look at acting careers that I really admire, I see that it’s been a precise decision-making process for these people. They make decisions based on what they love, and they do only the things that they are passionate about. They play only characters that they can’t stop thinking about.

I’ve found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.

Depression begins with disappointment. When disappointment festers in our soul, it leads to discouragement.

And if you’re horrible to me I’m going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That’s how I operate.

What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.

But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I’m upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.

Who, being loved, is poor?

Fear is real, but so is love.

When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.
