Of everything I have seen, it's you I want to go on seeing: of everything I've touched, it's your flesh I want to go on touching. I love your orange laughter. I am moved by the sight of you sleeping. What am I to do, love, loved one? I don't know how others love or how people loved in the past. I live, watching you, loving you. Being in love is my nature.
Pablo Neruda

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Mother Teresa
The largest ailment at present is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but instead the sensation of being ignored.

I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death, a death of everything. You kind of watch yourself die in a wonderful way, and you experience for the briefest moment – if you see yourself for a moment through their eyes – everything you believed about yourself gone. In a death-and-rebirth sense.
Hozier

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I'm very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.
Melanie Martinez

When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being ‘in love.’ Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other - only now there doesn’t seem to be enough.
James Redfield

When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.
Janis Joplin

Dustfinger still clearly remembered the feeling of being in love for the first time. How vulnerable his heart had suddenly been! Such a trembling, quivering thing, happy and miserably unhappy at once.
Cornelia Funke

They say marriage will change you but it didn't change me. Being in love changed me.
R. Kelly

Being in love means being at the mercy of someone's childhood.
Hanif Kureishi

Love as distinct from "being in love" is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit.
C. S. Lewis
12.
Being in grief, it turns out, is not unlike being in love.
In both states, the imagination's entirely occupied with one person. The beloved dwells at the heart of the world, and becomes a Rome: the roads of feeling all lead to him, all proceed from him. Everything that touches us seems to relate back to that center: there is no other emotional life, no place outside the universe of feeling centered on its pivotal figure.
Mark Doty

Besides being a guitar player, I'm a big fan of the guitar. I love that damn instrument.
Steve Vai

Love itself is what is left over when being "in love" has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Louis de Bernieres
15.
When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.
Sadie Frost
16.
Love is like the little red toy wagon you get for your Christmas or your sixth birthday. It makes you deliriously happy and you just can't leave it alone. But sooner or later the wheels come off. Then you leave it in a corner and forget it. Falling in love is great. Being in love is a disaster
Mario Puzo
17.
I love being in love. It's the best feeling in the world. I have never felt like this before.
Ranveer Singh
18.
You can't easily break out of this cycle of love. It's always here and there up and down.. pain and joy, this wonderful feeling of being in love, which will come to an end later, is so dominating through your entire life. And you cannot escape it.
Till Lindemann
19.
You can't describe the feeling of being in love - when you meet someone who makes you a better person.
Zac Efron
21.
After all, damn it, what does being in love mean if you can't trust a person.
Evelyn Waugh
22.
Be thankful for the thorns and thistles, which keep you from being in love with this world, and becoming an idolater.
Charles Spurgeon

You know you are in love when the two of you can go grocery shopping together.
Woody Harrelson

I have yet to find something that beats the power of being in love, or the power of music at its most magical.
Yo-Yo Ma

I hate love. Hate being in love. I never want it to happen to me again.
Muriel Box
26.
Actors fall into this trap if they missed being loved for who they really were and not for what they could do - sing, dance, joke about - then they take that as love.
Gene Wilder
27.
I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside.
Gloria Vanderbilt
29.
The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.
Ram Dass
30.
I think that one of the things that you do learn is that falling in love and being in love with someone is a rarity. That you don't fall in love as many times as you think you're going to. And then when you do, it's really special; it's really important.
Julianne Moore
31.
Since I reached the conclusion that the essence of the creative person is being in love with what one is doing, I have had a growing awareness that this characteristic makes possible all the other personality characteristics of the creative person: independence of thought and judgment, honesty, perseverance, curiosity, willingness to take risks and the like.
Ellis Paul Torrance
32.
First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.
Maya Angelou
33.
The fulfilment that is being in love with God is not the product of our knowledge and choice. It is God's gift. Like all being in love, as distinct from particular acts of loving, it is a first principle. So far from resulting from our knowledge and choice, it dismantles and abolishes the horizon within which our knowing and choosing went on, and it sets up a new horizon within which the love of God transvalues our values and the eyes of that love transform our knowing.
Bernard Lonergan

What puts you on the road is your desire to enjoy. What brings you home is being in love
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I'm all for being in love and whenever I like someone, I end up pretty much completely smitten.
Ed Westwick

Loving someone is different from being in love with someone. You can hate someone you're in love with
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Being in love means being willing to ruin yourself for the other person.
Susan Sontag

There's a huge difference between being in love and being in love with the thought of love. Recognize the difference. Never settle.

You protect your being when you love yourself better. That's the secret.
Isabelle Adjani

Sometimes there's more important things in life than being in the ring, like family, like us, & being in love.
Amy Dumas

Being in love, you know... it's not like having a canary, in a cage. When you lose one sweetheart, you can't just go out and get another to replace her.
Sarah Waters
42.
I think we're always in love. It's that simple. And it's important to remember that love doesn't have anything to do with sex. It's two different things. Being in love is the happy part. I was teasing my gentleman, "We know that you're in love when you cook for us." It's true. When men cook for you, they're in love.
Nikki Giovanni
43.
Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate the joy of being in love. Unless you're single & lonely then it's called Laundry Day.
Dane Cook

Keep Giving Jesus to the people, not by words but by your example, by being in love with Jesus, by radiating holiness and spreading his fragrance of love everywhere you go. Just keep the joy of Jesus as your strength, be happy and at peace.
Mother Teresa

Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.
Shane Warne
46.
Me being in love with a girl and wanting her to be with me, doing what I need to do to make her stay with me; it affects no one, yet it’s terrifying to people and they think you’re a monster.
Sara Quin
47.
Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all. Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go.
C. S. Lewis
49.
There's nothing I like more than being on a dance floor with a thousand people feeling love for humanity.
Chris Lowe

Being in love with someone who doesn't even know you exist isn't the worst thing in the world. In fact, it's quite the oppostie. Almost like passing in a term paper that you know sucked, but having that period of time where you haven't gotten your grade back yet -- that kind of exhale where you haven't been rejected, although you pretty much know how it's going to turn out.
