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

If you wished to be loved, love.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war love is a growing up.

For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.

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

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.

Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.

Love is the poetry of the senses.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.
