“I guess living without love, without experiencing it or being able to give it is pretty strong punishment.”

“I wouldn't want to live without strong misgivings.”

“I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.”

“One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving”

“And if it is grievous to be doomed one day to cease to be, perhaps it would be more grievous still to go on being always oneself, and no more than oneself, without being able to be at the same time other, without being able to be at the same time everything else, without being able to be all.”

“I will not live without love.”

“I think now that being free is not being powerful or rich or well regarded or without obligation but being able to love. To love someone else enough to forget about yourself even for one moment is to be free.”

“We may often give without love, but we can never love without giving.”

“I am young, yes, but what I have learned is that love, the beauty of it, the joy of it and yes, even the pain of it, is the most incredible gift to give and to receive as a human being. And we deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise.”

“To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism — this is the art of living.”
