• Ø      It is not that I'm afraid to die; it is that if I die who will love you as I do.
• Ø      Don't compare our love to the flowers that only bloom on summer, instead, compare it to the river that flows forever.
• Ø      You know it's love when forever is not long enough.
• Ø      If I had to count the reasons why I love you and why I'm so in love with you...I'd have to count forever.
• Ø      I love the sun for days, the moon for nights and you forever.
• Ø      I love walking in the rain cause then no one knows I’m crying.
• Ø      Love is hard work; and hard work sometimes hurts!
• Ø      Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.
• Ø      Love is like a bus, if you miss it, don't worry, you'll catch another one.
• Ø      I give you all my love because I truly love you, but I can't give you my soul and my heart because you'll just break it apart.
• Ø      Love is timeless, it is the memory of past, the happiness of today and the promise of tomorrow.
• Ø      Love is a trick of the heart to fool the mind.
• Ø      Love is a science; It is all about passionate chemistry, dimensionless physics with a bit of biology thrown in.
• Ø      The virtue of true love is not finding the perfect person, but loving the imperfect person perfectly.
• Ø      If we discovered that we only had five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them.
• Ø      You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy; even if you're not part of their happiness.
• Ø      Love is when you look into someone's eyes, and see everything you need.

• Ø      Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.
• Ø      Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
• Ø      If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
• Ø      To be in Love is the best way to see the life at it's best!
• Ø      I would rather be blind than not to see you. I would rather not hear anything than not to hear you, I would rather lose my voice if I didnt tell this to you, that I would rather lose my heart than not love you..
• Ø      I love you and it doesnt matter if you love me back because i rather live for the chance than die from the truth.
• Ø      If love is great, and there are no greater things, then what I feel for you must be the greatest.
• Ø      How can you tell the sun not to shine, when clouds exist. How can you ask leaves not to fall when wind exists. How can you tell me not to fall in love when you exist.
• Ø      We cannot beg someone to stay if they want to leave and be with someone else. We have to admit that love doesn't give us the license to own a person. This is what love means...sacrifice.
