“Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round
Love and only love, it can’t be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just won’t be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who's tried”

“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it go round twice as fast.”

Compton Mackenzie (1883–1972) Scottish writer, cultural commentator, raconteur and nationalist

“Love has nothing to do with someone else. It is all about you. It is a way of being. It essentially means you have brought sweetness into your emotion. If a loved one travels to another country, would you still be able to love them? You would. If a loved one passed away, would you still be able to love them? You would. Even if a loved one is not physically with you anymore, you are still capable of being loving. So, what is love then? It is just your own quality. You are only using the other person as a key to open up what is already within you.”

Sadhguru book Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy

“Whoever it is you fall in love with for the first time, not just love but be in love with, is the one who will always make you angry, the one you can't be logical about.”

Jeanette Winterson book The Passion

“How could one speak properly about love if you were forgotten, you God of love, source of all love in heaven and on earth; you who spared nothing but in love gave everything; you who are love, so that one who loves is what he is only by being in you.”

Sören Kierkegaard (1813–1855) Danish philosopher and theologian, founder of Existentialism

“It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love”

John Lennon (1940–1980) English singer and songwriter

“Oh, ’tis love, ’tis love, that makes the world go round!”

Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) English writer, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer

“A girl can’t control who will and who won’t fall in love with her, Ethan. And sometimes, when a nuisance person falls in love with you, it can be awfully… awkward.”

Douglas Coupland book JPod

“Why can’t you just love me? Why can’t you just be in love with me?”

David Nicholls book One Day

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”

Maya Angelou (1928–2014) American author and poet
