Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.
Love me and I may be forced to love you.
~ William Arthur Ward.
Love withers under constraints: its very essence is liberty: it is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy, nor fear: it is there most pure, perfect, and unlimited where its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve.
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
~ Jean Anouilh.
I would rather possess eyes that know no sight, ears that know no sound, hands that know no touch than a heart that knows no love.
~ Unknown.
