Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates. Love liberates.

We need joy as we need air. We need love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
