“Look at your own povertywelcome itcherish itdon't be afraidshare your deathbecause thus you will share your love and your life”

“You don't love me, Sebastian. You don't have any idea what love really is. You can't love anyone or anything until you love your own existence, first. Love can only grow out of a respect for your own life. When you love yourself, your own existence, then you love someone who can enhance your existence, share it with you, and make it more pleasurable. When you hate yourself and believe your existence is evil, then you can only hate, you can only experience the shell of love, that longing for something good, but you have nothing to base it in but hatred. You taint the very concept of love, Sebastian, with your corrupted longing for it. You want me only to justify your hatred, to be your partner in self-loathing.”

“YOU ARE AN ARTIST OF THE SPIRITFind yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.”

“You can't love anyone or anything until you love your own existence first. Love can only grow out of a respect for your own life.”

“To love is to give your soul away and never have power over yourself again. When you love, your life is not your own anymore. - Connor”

“The intimacy. The deepest level of love. The knowledge that someone understands you, is rooting for you, is sharing your life.”
