“Son, you're probably too young to look for wisdom in anyone's words but your own, but I'll tell you this: love is the enemy… Yes. The poets continually and sometimes willfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer. Love is not blind. Love is a cannibal with extremely acute vision. Love is insectile; it is always hungry.
When asked what love eats:
Friendship. It eats friendship.”

“Do you know what the difference is between Friendship and Love? Friendship is the photograph, Love is the oil painting.”

“It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.”

“Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship—never.”

“Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship - never.”

“Friendship is always helpful, but love sometimes even does harm”
Amicitia semper prodest, amor aliquando etiam nocet

“Love is blind. Friendship closes its eyes.”

“friendship and love blind every man to their interests.”

“A friendship that like love is warm;
A love like friendship, steady.”

“Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!”
