A woman should soften but not weaken a man.

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.

As I grow to understand life less and less,

I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

To love one that is great, is almost to be great one's self.

To find yourself, think for yourself.

Don't forget to love yourself.

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.

One word, Frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

The heart was made to be broken.
