“Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again.”

“Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.”

“You only have power over people so long as you don’t take everything away from them. But when you’ve robbed a man of everything he’s no longer in your power — he’s free again.”

“Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life.”

“It has been said that love robs those who have it of their wit, and gives it to those who have none.”

“Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.”

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to… fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”

“Are gods more ruthless than mortals?
Have they no mercy for youth? no love for the souls who have loved them?”

“I love them for finding what I can't find, and for loving me for the line I wrote, and for forgetting it so that a thousand times, till death
finds them, they may discover it again, in other lines in other happenings. And for wanting to know it, for assuming there is such a secret, yes, for that most of all.”

“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.”
