“A love that does not bear collision with reality is not a real love. But then the inability to love is a privilege of the noble hearts.”

“I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.”

“Let’s not beat around the bush; I love life — that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.”

“I would like to be able to breathe— to be able to love her by memory or fidelity. But my heart aches. I love you continuously, intensely.”

“Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one's work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.”

“A pure love is a dead love.”

“For there is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving.”
