“Are people so unhappy when they love?"
"Yes, Christine, when they love and are not sure of being loved.”

“But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.”

“How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.”

“When people are alive they love, when they die, they keep loving. If love ends when person dies, that is not real love”

“But do you love me? If Erik were good-looking, would you love me, Christine?”

“Love is what makes us alive,
That is why we feel so alive when we love.
Service is being available to love.

Life is the combustion of love.

That we love ourselves here,
That is the true magnificence
In the mountains of being.”

“It is better to be unhappy in love than unhappy in marriage, but some people manage to be both.”

“Somewhere, the deepest desire for us all is to be appreciated, to be loved, to be seen as somebody of value. But not just seen — and Aristotle makes a difference between being admired and being loved. When you admire people, you put them on pedestals. When you love people, you want to be together. So really, the first meeting I had with people with disabilities, what touched me was their cry for relationship.”

“Never be afraid to love, not even when there's a chance you're not being loved in return.”

“So young when the pain had begun
Now forever afraid of being loved.”
