“I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.”

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”

“There is nothing I would not do for those who I care about. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. I only know 100%.”

“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”

“I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you. You are my sympathy–my better self–my good angel–I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.”

“I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them.”
