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

Love is my religion - I could die for it.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins it is less difficult to know that it has begun.

Love is a better teacher than duty.
