“To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.”
“Will you just stand on the foot of a high mountain and look at it with admiration or climb the top and be the admired itself? Remember that anybody can be an admirer; but the difficult thing is to be the admired one!”
“I need to feel strongly, to love and admire, just as desperately as I need to breathe.”

“Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of courage. Courage is the most desperate, admirable and noble kind of love.”
