“Never, dear father, love can be,
Like the dear love I had for thee!”

“Yet this inconstancy is such
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.”

“You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.”

“You would have understood me, had you waited;
I could have loved you, dear! as well as he:
Had we not been impatient, dear! and fated
Always to disagree.”

“Dear me, how I love a library.”

“… and clung more closely to the dear human love, from which our Father never means us to be weaned, but through which He draws us closer to Himself.”

“You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love.”

“Drumossie moor — Drumossie day —
A waefu' day it was to me!
For there I lost my father dear,
My father dear, and brethren three.”

“I love his dear eyes in which the vulnerability and beauty of his soul can be plainly read.”

“My dear Aysel. First I want you to strongly believe and to be sure that I love you with all my heart. You should not doubt this. I love you and I will always love you into eternity; My life, My love, My dear.”
