Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.

We can only learn to love by loving.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
