“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that’s why I’m scared when you say you love me.”

“There will never be no love at all.”

“The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love.” “Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.”

“The trust is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”

“The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.”

“She may not be the most popular or prettiest but if you love her and she makes you smile… what else matters?”

“Overcome the devils with a thing called love.”

“One love, one heart, Let’s get together and feel alright.” —One Love (cowritten with Curtis Mayfield), from the album Exodus, originally recorded on The Wailing Wailers (1965).

“Love would never leave us alone.”

“If you get down and quarrel everyday, you’re saying prayers to the devil, I say.”

“If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

“If puss and dog can get together, why can’t we love one another?”

“I know that I’m not perfect and that I don’t claim to be, so before you point your fingers make sure your hands are clean.” —Could You Be Loved, from the album Uprising (1980).

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

“Conquer the devils with a little thing called love.”

“Live the life you love. Love the life you live.” – Bob Marley

“Live the life you love. Love the life you live.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable.” – C.S. Lewis

“Being in love” first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.”

If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day.

He shall never know I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made out of, his and mine are the same.

I love the ground under his feet, and the air over his head, and everything he touches and every word he says. I love all his looks, and all his actions and him entirely and all together.

Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly?

He'll love and hate equally under cover, and esteem it a species of impertinence to loved or hated again.
