“Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.”

“Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved… Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all.”

“I still love you. I will always love you, and that is all that matters. I will forgive you anything, and I will forgive you this.”

“To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend. ”

“To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe.”

“The point is that although love may die, what is said on its behalf cannot be consumed by the passage of time, and forgiveness is everything.”
