I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging.

A pick-up artist gave me a good piece of advice: the three most important things in a relationship are honesty, trust and respect, and if you don't have those, you don't have love.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.

Love can happen any moment, anywhere, but I am also a person who believes more in friendship than love, relationships, and affairs.

Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.

I think the thing about love is that even though the things around us change, we as human beings, a lot of the ways we interact, and the ways we love each other is timeless. It requires trust, honesty, commitment, romance, and physical chemistry.

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.

The art of listening is a vital component to a relationship that thrives every day of the year, making Valentine's Day so much sweeter.

A healthy love life is not and should not be the preserve of those in their 20s and 30s. It's important at all ages.

Love is the beauty of the soul.

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.

Love is metaphysical gravity.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

I have been in love, and it was a great feeling. It's when you are attracted to and feel affection for someone. You want to do things for that person. But only love isn't enough in a relationship - understanding and communication are very important aspects.

A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can't do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships.

Finding love is a fixation now, and that's because although romantic love can sometimes cause a lot of suffering, it can also give people peaks of happiness that come very close to our ideal of 'the happy state.'

It's a hard business this dating business! Love is complicated!

Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Love and friendship are really the key, I believe, to a relationship - although I can't claim to be an expert!

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.

Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.

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.

Romantic love is an addiction.

If love means that one person absorbs the other, then no real relationship exists any more. Love evaporates; there is nothing left to love. The integrity of self is gone.

Love is a friendship set to music.

Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.

In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.

Love is such a powerful subject matter because it comes in so many different shapes and sizes. It's about timing, fate, failure, redemption.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

Love is a positive, symbiotic, reciprocal flow between two or more entities.

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

A healthy relationship is built on unwavering trust.

Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion.

I honestly believe there is nothing more important in a person's life than love and I want to show women how to have fun and get the best out of dating.

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.

Love is the ultimate expression of the will to live.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

Love is a serious mental disease.

Ultimately love is everything.

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.

My experience of what a loving relationship is like rings true with a lot of people I meet. I have a theory that the people you meet, one way you choose them, is their suitability for you in that particular matter. Attitudes toward friendship and marriage are in many cases closely aligned.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

In finding love, I think it's important to be patient. In being in a relationship, I think it's important to be honest, to communicate, to respect and trust, and to strive to give more than you take.
