“Don't die to see me, live to love me.”

“I don't think of love in terms of relationships. It happens in terms of seconds, but it goes away like that, too. I pass a nurse, I love her, it ends when I go around a corner; at a restaurant I see a forlorn man at the table next to me, and I love him, and the conversation pulls me back, and it's ended. A patient comes in, and she is sick, and I love her, and then she dies, and I never see her again. This is what I live for. Don't think that it's sad.”

“Love and live or don't love and die unhappy”

“I was born the day you kissed me,died the day you left me,but lived for the time that you loved me”

“I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism; I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.”

“I would rather die then try to live without you”, “May you always love me and want me but never have me”, “May you never love anyone but me”.”
