Religion has done love a great service by making it a sin.

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.

In art as in love, instinct is enough.

But sweetly and discreetly love passes from person to person, from heart to heart, or it is nothing worth.

For what the lover would, that would the beloved; what she would ask of him that should he go before to grant. Without accord such as this, love is but a bond and a constraint.

For above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure; yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.

Out of five hundred who speak glibly of love, not one can spell the first letter of his name.

If one of two lovers is loyal, and the other jealous and false, how may their friendship last, for Love is slain!

I love no woman, for love is a serious business, not a jest.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

There are some cities that I did take time out to study, 'cause I love history and one of them was Boston, and of course Rome and all of those places like that. But, in Syracuse or Rochester, or any of those places, no.

If the work is good, what does it matter? I'm doing it because I love it. Why not do as many things I love as I can? As long as the work is good.

I have been frequently accused of deliberately twisting subject matter to my point of view. Above all, I know that life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love.

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.

The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work.

I really, really love directing films.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
