“You are my one and only, for all eternity.”

“As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart. ”

“Have you ever said Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you have said Yes too to all woe. All things are entangled, ensnared, enamored; if ever you wanted one thing twice, if ever you said, "You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!" then you wanted all back. All anew, all eternally, all entangled, ensnared, enamored--oh then you loved the world. Eternal ones, love it eternally and evermore; and to woe too, you say: go, but return! For all joy wants--eternity.”

“My friends, God is necessary for me if only because he is the one being who can be loved eternally.”

“I adore you, my greatest love, as only through you I can find my moment’s eternity.”

“If the sum of living be love's fee,Tremble. You are my one eternity.”
