I love Brad in every state.

Even an animal, if you show genuine affection, gradually trust develops… If you always showing bad face and beating, how can you develop friendship?

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don’t just want to possess it, it will find you.

Fame may go by and – so long, I’ve had you.

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone – because we have the impulse to explain who we are.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‚I love you.‘

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

There’s nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.

It is necessary to fall in love… if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.

Love is easy, and I love writing. You can’t resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you’re in love.

I love the attention but I don’t like too much of it.

We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

They are resilient children, but they are children, and as much as they need help to understand the hard truths in life, they also need what we all need – protection and love.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

Little Red Riding Hood was my first love. I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

The course of true love never did run smooth.

A man always remembers his first love with special tenderness, but after that he begins to bunch them.

It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.

We love things we love what they are.

Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.

There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.

The husband who decides to surprise his wife is often very much surprised himself.

To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men.

Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.

When I understand myself, I understand you, and out of that understanding comes love.

Most people would rather give than get affection.

If you were the President of the United States or the Queen of England – you couldn’t have a person who would be more protective than my mother was for me. Which meant really that I could dare to do all sorts of things.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.

I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.

In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, ‚Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn’t want it to get any worse. You’re the mother of my kids – I don’t want to hate you.‘

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I’m not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that’s why they identify with me.

Love is an interesting thing. Perhaps I’ve never been in love before – I don’t really know? I think I have. I guess it’s subjective in that way.

I don’t want enemies. I want friends, and I want them in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and loving whoever they want to.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.

The faster you go, the shorter you are.

There’s only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I’ll get married again.

You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

In the real world, children love me.

I am a very emotional guy. What I love, I do with all I have.

Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.

I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.

I love to play. And fortunately, I don’t know a lot of musicians that suck. I know a bunch of really good ones, and they’re always up for playing.

I have no hostility to nature, but a child’s love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons.

I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

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.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
