“I want nothing from love, in short, but love.”

“Women want love to be a novel. Men, a short story.”

“I would give you all my love, but I’m afraid I’d get nothing in return. And coming from you, nothing is simply much more than I want.”

“I never wanted to fall in love. Only stupid girls compromised themselves that way, and I was too smart to sell myself short.”

“Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.”
