“In my great melancholy, I loved life, for I love my melancholy.”
“I know love is eternal, so also are folly, lies and roses.”
In this world our hopes for the best are so often disappointed
Love is eternal. That is its terror and its final beauty. Love never ends. The joy may go out of it, and in time even the pain may end. But it lingers like a living thing and follows you every moment of your life.

"What a stupid lamb," I sighed.
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
