“Those whom we most love are often the most alien to us.”
“There are none among us who have not been, even for a moment, cruel to those whom we love most, as if unable, in that moment, to shoulder any longer the magnificent weight and burden, the responsibility, of that love.”
“We all love best not those who offend us least, nor those who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.”
“If only we arrange our life according to that principle which counsels us that we must hold to the difficult, then that which now still seems to us the most alien will become what we most trust and find most faithful.”
“Those you love the most are not obligated to love you back – and often won’t.”
“In love we often doubt what we most believe.”
