“Because I love you.”

“Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved." Mature love follows the principle: "I am loved because I love." Immature love says: "I love you because I need you." Mature love says: "I need you because I love you.”

“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.”

“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?”

“Why? It’s because I love you, damn me to hell. Because I’ve always loved you. Because I loved you when you were with John, and I loved you when I was in India, and God only knows I don’t deserve you, but I love you, anyway.”

“I don't love you because you're beautiful, you're beautiful because I love you.”

“In this part of the story I am the one whodies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,because I love you, Love, in fire and in blood.”
