“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”

“One could be happy not only without love, but despite it.”

“Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates.”

“A life by choice is one that is filled with love, happiness, and an appreciation of each day.”

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But, then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness — I hope you're getting this down.”

“There's no time for hatred, only questions. Where is love? Where is happiness? What is life? Where is peace?”

“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.”

“It is not the healthy, the confident, the proud, the joyous, the happy, that one must love - they have no need of one's love! Arrogant and indifferent, they accept love only as homage that is theirs to command, as their due. The devotion of another is to them a mere embellishment, an ornament for the hair, a bracelet on the arm, not the whole meaning and bliss of their lives. Only those with whom life has dealt hardly, the wretched, the slighted, the uncertain, the unlovely, the humiliated, could really be helped by love. He who devotes his life to them atones to them for what life has taken from them. They alone know how to love and be loved as one should love - gratefully and humbly.”

“Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love, and to be loved, is the greatest happiness of existence.”

“love means to see the one you love happy”
