“Love cannot be measured by its duration...”

“...I love 'yes.' It's practically the most interesting word of all, don't you think?" Like a hinge opening a door outward. Yes, yes, yes.”

“Almost certainly I will not tell her my intentions this evening or tonight. I will put it off. Why? Because words are actions and they make things happen. Once they are out you cannot put them back.”

“Without love, most of life remains concealed. Nothing is as fascinating as love, unfortunately.”

“I don't want to be loved. I want to be desired. Love is safety, but desire is foul.”

“Falling in love was simple; one had only to yield. Digesting another person, however, and sustaining love, was bloody work, and not a soft job.”

“No amount of promises can guarantee love”
