Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.
Grace Kelly
Mr. Hitchcock imparted all of his knowledge of film to me. It was owing to him that I realized murder sequences ought to be framed like romance scenes and romantic scenes like slayings.

Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness. We form friendships so that we can feel certain emotions, like love, and avoid others, like loneliness. We eat specific foods to enjoy their fleeting presence on our tongues. We read for the pleasure of thinking another person's thoughts.
Sam Harris
3.
A taste so profound and complex that it can't even be compared to other tastes, only to emotions. Cheesy waffles, I was thinking, tastes like love without the fear of love's dissolution.
John Green
4.
Film your murders like love scenes, and film your love scenes like murders.
Alfred Hitchcock
5.
Friendship was another illusion like love, though it did not reach the same mad heights. People pretended that they were friends, when the fact was they were brought together by force of circumstances.
R.K. Narayan
6.
Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.
Richard Pryor

Niggas' rap albums sound like love letters,
Pen in my hand, like: damn, fam, I could do much better.
Sean Price

I really wanted to die at certain periods in my life.
Death was like love, a romantic escape.
I took pills because I didn't want to throw myself off my balcony
and know people would photograph me lying dead below
Brigitte Bardot

What's really good about the word 'art' is that 'art' is a word like 'love,' or 'god,' or whatever. It transcends so many things.
Tracey Emin

Golf is like love. One day you think you are too old and the next day you want to do it again.
Roberto De Vicenzo
11.
I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess, just as I would pity the man who has remained ignorant of love. Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make man happy.
Siegbert Tarrasch
13.
And the words we find are always insufficient, like love, though they are often lovely and all we have.
Stephen Dunn
14.
Qualities like love and compassion are not just abstract virtues that are the property of saints and adepts. Anyone can develop these qualities in themselves by doing spiritual practices. As the Buddha said, Come and see.
Joanna Macy
15.
Birth, like love, is an energy and a process, happening within a relationship. Both unfold with their own timing, with a uniqueness that can never be anticipated, with a power that can never be controlled, but with an exquisite mystery to be appreciated.
Elizabeth Noble
16.
It's like love. When you look too hard, you don't find it. When you let it happen naturally, it comes.
Marat Safin
17.
When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.
Francis Chan
18.
God is not attracted to mountaintops or church steeples. God is drawn to suffering, and the dark places it surfaces, which is why sharing pain freely feels very much like love, and may be the same thing. (207)
Keith Ablow
20.
Dreams they come and go, but thoughts like love will always grow.
Meat Loaf
21.
A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort, and remembered with nostalgia.
Evan Esar
22.
[Doing music] is time consuming, will drain you, and stress you out at times. But in the end if you love doing it, and you're putting out music you're proud of, it will never feel like work. It'll just feel like love.
Melanie Martinez
24.
Courage is not a virtue of value among other personal values like love or fidelity. It is the foundation that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues and personal values. Without courage our love pales into mere dependency. Without courage our fidelity becomes conformism.
Rollo May
25.
Laughter, like love, has power to survive the worst things life has to offer. And to do it with style.
Jim Butcher
26.
The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside.
Lennox Lewis
27.
The human being is a surprisingly resilient organism. We are impelled toward health not sickness. Your spirit, as surely as your body, will try to heal....So you should not fear tragedy and suffering. Like love, they make you more a part of the human family. From them can come your greatest creativity. They are the fire that burns you pure.
Kent Nerburn
28.
There's a very fine line between being artistic and being a dickhead - it's like love and hate.
Peter Hook
29.
Sex can look like love if you don't know what love looks like.
Rebecca Walker
31.
Like love, the light or guidance of truth that influences us exists only in living form, not in principles or rules or expectations or advice, however widely circulated
Alan Watts
32.
Art appreciation, like love, cannot be done by proxy: It is a very personal affair and is necessary to each individual.
Robert Henri
33.
Friendship is like love at its best; not blind but sympathetically all-seeing; a support which does not wait for understanding; an act of faith which does not need, but always has, reason.
Louis Untermeyer
34.
All good trips are, like love, about being carried out of yourself and deposited in the midst of terror and wonder.
Pico Iyer
35.
I write because it is dangerous, a bloody risk, like love, to form the words, to say the words, to touch the source, to be touched, to reveal how vulnerable we are, how transient.
Terry Tempest Williams
36.
Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.
Jim Butcher
37.
And she did not miss his presence so much as his voice on the phone. Even being lied to constantly, though hardly like love, was sustained attention; he must care about her to fabricate so elaborately and over such a long stretch of time. His deceit was a form of tribute to the importance of their marriage.
Ian Mcewan
38.
I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting.
Monica Bellucci
39.
But the Good Book said a lot of things. Like 'love thy neighbor' and ' do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. If nothing else, wasn't the message of the Good Book to live and let live? So how could the Crosses call themselves 'God's chosen' and still treat us the way they did?
Malorie Blackman
40.
In the beginning war looks and feels like love. But unlike love it gives nothing in return but an ever-deepening dependence, like all narcotics, on the road to self-destruction. It does not affirm but places upon us greater and greater demands. It destroys the outside world until it is hard to live outside war's grip. It takes a higher and higher dose to achieve any thrill. Finally, one ingests war only to remain numb.
Chris Hedges
41.
I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by "feminine" pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.
Anita Roddick
42.
I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing. I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like. Love says "I am everything". Wisdom says "I am nothing". Between the two, my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am both, and neither, and beyond both.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
43.
Chess, like love, is infectious at any age.
Salo Flohr

Usability is like love. You have to care, you have to listen, and you have to be willing to change. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but that’s where growth and forgiveness come in.
Jeffrey Zeldman
45.
Fairness is a concept that holds only in limited situations. Yet we want the concept to extend to everything, in and out of phase. From snails to hardware stores to married life. Maybe no one finds it, or even misses it, but fairness is like love. What is given has nothing to do with what we seek.
Haruki Murakami
46.
Art, like love, excludes all competition and absorbs the man.
Henry Fuseli
47.
I've always said that movies are kind of like love affairs. Two people come together, and if they're at the right place at the right time and it's the right situation, it clicks. I've always felt that I've connected with screenplays. It's the romantic in me.
Robert Zemeckis
48.
faith is like love; when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
49.
You never knew this, but I was in love. Okay, infatuated, but it felt like love at the time.
Teresa Lo
