“We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh. ”
“We are not judicious in love; we do not select those whom we ought to love, but those whom we cannot help loving.”
“We cannot choose the times we live in. Just as, sometimes, we cannot choose whom we love.”
“That which we cannot speak of is the one thing about whom and to whom we must never stop speaking.”
“But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others.”
“Hate is often an obverse form of love.You hate someone whom you really wish to love but whom you cannot love.”
