“He is not a lover who does not love forever.”

“He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.”

“Love does not last forever, then?""He asked me the same thing this morning," she said. "No, it does not - not love that has been betrayed. One realizes that one has loved a mirage, someone who never really existed. Not that love dies immediately or soon, even then. But it does die and cannot be revived.”

“True lovers may never know what love means. A man may love a woman out of his reach. She does not know he loves her, and he will never speak of it.”

“A servant wants to be rewarded for what he does. A lover wants only to be in love's presence, that ocean whose depth will never be known.”

“None but God is loved in the existent things. It is He who is manifest within every beloved to the eye of every lover – and there is nothing in the existent realm that is not a lover”
