I have simply found a way of loving through whatever absences or dejections have fallen like tree branches in my path.

I know you’re dying to meet me, but I can just tell you this. Baby, as soon as you meet me, you’ll wish that you never did.

Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love!

We are asleep until we fall in Love!

My father, soft as rainclouds, my mother, hard as hail, prepared me to take the world by storm.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.

Real love is freedom, and this is what you’ve been given by the Creator – the freedom to love and to choose your own path.

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you. Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy; where before there was fear, now there is courage; where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self. When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning.

I never met a woman I didn’t like. I love ’em all, in their different ways.

Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don’t like.

Sometimes the heart is deceiving.
