“Love, too, was just a question of time”

“But why all these questions?Because I'm in love and I'm afraid of suffering.Don't be afraid, the only way to avoid that suffering would be to refuse to love.”

“Love never comes just a little bit at a time, I thought, as I watched him, absorbed in contemplation of the Virgin. The previous day, the world made sense, even without love's presence. But now we needed each other in order to see the true brilliance of things.”

“Life is too short to waste time complainingDon't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear”

“Time heals almost everything. But when you are healed, you are too old to enjoy”

“Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.”

“Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or--such is the pleasure they experience--they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.”
