“Freedom only exists when love is present.”

“All my life, I thought of love as some kind of voluntary enslavement. Well, that's a lie: freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly.”

“Absolute freedom does not exist; what does exist is the freedom to choose anything you like and then commit yourself to that decision.”

“Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. It isn;t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.”

“In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.”

“lived only for the present, because the present was full of surprises.”

“but music only exists because the pauses exist, and sentences only exist because the blank spaces exist.”
