We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.

The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

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

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

Love is suffering. One side always loves more.

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