Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'
Erich Fromm

If you want to be loved, be lovable.
Ovid

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
Michel de Montaigne

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
A. A. Milne

If there is a God, whence proceed so many evils? If there is no God, whence cometh any good?
Boethius

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
J. D. Salinger

I like not only to be loved, but to be told I am loved.
George Eliot

Faith is the bird that sings
When the dawn is still dark.

Hatim al-Asamm said, "I have chosen four things to know

and discarded all other things of knowledge.


"The first is this: I know that my daily bread is apportioned

to me and will neither be increased or decreased, so I have stopped

trying to add to it.


"Secondly, I know I owe to God a debt which no one else can

pay for me, so I am busy about paying it.


"Thirdly, I know that there is someone pursuing me ---

Death --- whom I cannot escape from, so I have prepared myself

to meet him.


"Fourth, I know that God is observing me, so I am ashamed

to do what I should not."
