Leo Tolstoy

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.

Be bad, but at least don’t be a liar, a deceiver!

It’s hard to love a woman and do anything.

You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.

Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation – it is the one unbreakable diamond.

They’ve got no idea what happiness is, they don’t know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us–there is no life.

Love – THE FEELING – is a fruit of love, the verb.

There’s nothing more romantic than getting down in the dirt and plowing through the weeds, brambles, thickets, and dry land of life with someone just as willing by your side.

I’m a different man now. I’m still a romantic, I still believe in love, but when I met Barbara I was looking for it. Now, I don’t know.

Once you have drunk from the water of unconditional love, no other well can satisfy your thirst. The pangs of separation may become so intense that seeking the affection of the Beloved becomes an obsession.

If we are simply energy, neither created or destroyed, and if a body is just a body, celestial or not, why don’t you come over here and we will make collisions out of moments.

Constancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Spread love everywhere you go let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Everything is clearer when you’re in love.

Sometimes I feel like a kid wanting nothing more than to squeeze you tight and call you mine.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

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.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache!

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