Love does not consist in gazing at each other
but in looking together in the same direction.

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.

All love that has not friendship for its base,
is like a mansion built upon the sand.

To fear love is to fear life,
and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

You come to love not by finding the perfect person,
but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
