“Love may precede respect but it cannot survive the loss of it.”
“I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect.”
“The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.”
“I cannot bear this love. Nor the loss of it.”
“Unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”
“If they cannot love and resist at the same time, they probably will not survive.”
