“Oh love and hate are two sides of the same blade”

“It's the same questions we ask of our existence, and the answer is always the same. The mystery lies not in the question nor the answer, but in the asking and answering themselves, over and over again, and the end is engendered in the beginning. ”

“Love as thou wilt”

“It is not wise to meddle with D'Angelines in matters of love.”

“When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity upon me”

“Why is there ever this perverse cruelty in humankind, that makes us hurt most those we love best?”

“I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.”
