Quotes About Love

To love is to lose control.
~ Paulo Coelho
But love is much like a dam; if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current.
~ Paulo Coelho
In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the pricesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.
~ Paulo Coelho
Of all the ways we have found to hurt ourselves, the worse has been through love. We are always suffering because of someone who doesn't love us, or someone who has left us, or someone who won't leave us. If we are alone, it is because no one wants us...
~ Paulo Coelho
Love fills everything. It cannot be desired because it is an end in itself. It cannot betray because it has nothing to do with possession. It cannot be held prisoner because it is a river and will overflow its banks. Anyone who tries to imprison love will cut off the spring that feeds it, and the trapped water will grow stagnant.
~ Paulo Coelho
Wait. This was the first lesson I had learned about love. The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways -- and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don't know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.
~ Paulo Coelho

~ Paulo Coelho
Reason lost the battle, and all I could do was surrender and accept I was in love.
~ Paulo Coelho
I am surprised how difficult for people is to say I love you. They only say the three magic words when they are sure they will hear I love you too back. C'mon! Spread the energy of love without expecting anything! Cowards are incapable of expressing love; it is the prerogative of the brave
~ Paulo Coelho
Because true love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny
~ Paulo Coelho
When someone leaves, its because someone else is about to arrive- I'll find love again.

~ Paulo Coelho
Love is only a word, until we decide to let it possess us with all its force. Love is only a word, until someone arrives to give it meaning. Don't give up. Remember, it's always the last key on the key ring that opens the door.
~ Paulo Coelho
And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.
~ Paulo Coelho
If you accept such love with purity and humility, you will understand that Love is neither giving nor receiving -it is participating.

It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.
~ Paulo Coelho
