“I was unhappy and so is every soul unhappy which is tied to its love for mortal things; when it loses them, it is torn in pieces, and it is then that it comes to realize the unhappiness which was there even before it lost them.”

“I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.”

“Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.”

“la mesure de l'amour c'est d'aimer sans mesure”

“People don't tell others when they lose interest, just like they don't tell others when they love them. And then they wonder why they are so unhappy.”

“Even if it's deep unhappiness, it's your unhappiness.”

“I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls.”
