Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

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

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.

All love is vanquished by a succeeding love.

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.
