“Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it.”

“Our love is forbidden like the love of a shark and a—and a shark hunter. But that’s what makes it special.”

“He said that in a way being loved is like being told you never have to die.”

“One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love—any love—reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.”

“I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”

“Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears—
Ah, she doth depart.

Soon as she was gone from me
A traveler came by
Silently, invisibly—
Oh, was no deny.”

“Just because someone does not love you as you want, it does not mean that you do not love with all his being.”

“Time, which strengthens friendship, weakens love.”

“Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.”
