“But oh, to him I loved
Who loved me not at all,
I owe the little open gate
That led thru heaven's wall.”

“He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.”

“Love is for children. I owe him a debt.”

“Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night…”

“With the man I love who loves me not
I walked in the street-lamps' flare —
But oh, the girls who can ask for love
In the lights of Union Square.”

“Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.”

“Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear. How terrible is the one fact of beauty!”

“Oh Earth, you gave me all I have,
I love you, I love you, — oh what have I
That I can give you in return —
Except my body after I die?”

“I love my gallant captain with all my heart and soul and might, and never will desert him, while God lets us be together. Oh, Mother, I never knew how much like heaven this world could be, when two people love and live for one another!”

“How long could you love a woman who didn't love you, Cecil?
A woman who didn't love me? Oh, all my life!”
