There is no remedy for love but to love more.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

I’m not a real movie star. I’ve still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

I feel like people can relate to me because we all go through wins and roadblocks and passion and pain, and it’s a vibe.

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.

When you get to a place where you understand that love and belonging, your worthiness, is a birthright and not something you have to earn, anything is possible.

While we look to the dramatist to give romance to realism, we ask of the actor to give realism to romance.

I’ve had no contact with my daughter for years. That’s her choice. Anyway, you move on. If people don’t want to bother with me, fine. You know, God bless them, and move on.

All mankind love a lover.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Part of me feels you can’t say you were truly in love if it didn’t last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that’s when I’ll know it’s real – because it lasted.

For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.

It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.

I hate violence, yes I do. It’s kind of a dilemma, huh?.

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.

Every single one of the guys that I’ve written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.

Women deeply want men who are competent and powerful. And I don’t mean power in that they can exert tyrannical control over others. That’s not power. That’s just corruption.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

Delhi means everything to me. This city has given me everything, and I love it.

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.

I’ve laid my friends bare.

Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.

I sang a song at my sister’s wedding. My mother forced me into that, too. But that one felt all right.

A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‚Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?‘ We must always consider the person.

Self-interest is the enemy of all true affection.

In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

The emotions in a song – the anger, aggression – have got to be legitimate.

Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.

It’s important to love in hip hop.

I am called a dog because I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals.

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

Marriage is a school itself. Also, having children. Becoming a father changed my whole life. It taught me as if by revelation.

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.

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

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

Football is a sad game.

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.

One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

I think I have had so much blessing – I’ve had my brother, who was brilliant – I think my family came closest to making a genius when they made my brother – Bailey was just all of that. He loved me.

Friends accept you the way you are.

I don’t want to get into it, but if you know someone, it doesn’t mean you agree with everything they say or they do.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

Any experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.

The best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

I am who I am today because of my mother.

Make yourself necessary to somebody.

Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action, which produces further confusion, further misery.

It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.
