Love Quotes - Top 100


1. "A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous."
--Ingrid Bergmen

2. Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to

work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

Just Day and Just Night


















There are nights when I search for you
...but those dreams are hard to find

There are mornings when I long for you
Where you?ll never leave my mind

The dawn is more unbearable
When the sun seems cast away

No moment without missing you
Recalling your charming way

When all light of day has gone again
To only you will my heart bind

And again, there are nights when I search for you
...but those dreams are hard to find

All I ever wanted was to be loved


















All I ever wanted was to be loved
Beauty was far away from my mirror
Darkness was my roommate at night
My wrinkles express the victory I never won
And my body reminds me of my exhaustion

The sun won?t rise on my deck anymore
And my empty house brings back no memories
There will be no flowers growing
My name is covered with shame

The judges will execute the sentence
And no lawyer will defend my cause
My faith left my soul
My heart is too weak to beat

All I ever wanted was to have more time
To fill my soul with hope
To fight against the enemy in the battlefield
And to see a flower grow again on my deck.

Being In Love With You



















Being in love with you is like
smelling Spring's first new blossoms
as if for the very first time.

Being in love with you is like
seeing the world through a baby's eyes
and marveling at all of its beauty.

Being in love with you is like
feeling every sensation from textures to temperature
like I've never felt before.

Being in love with you is like
hearing a magnificent orchestra play
and thinking it is the most amazing sound ever created.

Being in love with you is like
tasting the most deliciously sweet fruit ever grown
leaving me only longing for more.

Being in love with you is like
nothing I have ever known,
and more wonderful than I could ever imagine.

Your love, your kindness, your willingness
to give of yourself without reservation
have made me realize that I am in love
for the very first and last time
in my life.

Without you





















Without you, the city falls asleep softly,
Without you, the color disappears slowly,
Without you, the trees forget the wind,
Without you, the night is chagrined.

Without you, my music does not amaze,
Without you, my hours are days,
Without you, my heart gets bored,
Without you, my steps are too heavy and not labored.

Without you, my thoughts prevent me from going to bed,
Without you, I do not distinguish the horizon ahead,
Without you, there are no heavens,
Without you, the time forgets its reasons.

Without you, I am afraid of the next day not chosen,
Without you, the haze conceals the splendid ocean,
Without you, I do not figure or picture anything pleasant,
Without you, I am wondering this question at this moment...

My love, where are you hidden?
Without you, my happiness is forbidden,
My heart without you, is not at all replete,
My life without you, is so incomplete...
