We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.

The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.

How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink, this many and many a year.

Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful.

Speak low, if you speak love.

My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.

If I’m such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you’ve got somebody around who loves you.
