“Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other. ”

“Love from one being to another can only be that two solitudes come nearer, recognize and protect and comfort each other. ”

“From all of us Scarborough girls, greetings and thanks. This task required two, working together, trusting each other. It required the "us," not the "I." For that is true love, is it not?”

“Life is both sad and solemn. We are led into a wonderful world, we meet one another here, greet each other - and wander together for a brief moment. Then we lose each other and disappear as suddenly and unreasonably as we arrived.”

“A love story is not the same as a romance novel. A romance novel is the story of two people falling in love against their will. This is a story of two people who leave each other against their will. It starts to end the minute they meet.”

“I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other.”
