I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains.

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.

Do you have to have a reason for loving?

Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, this it overflows upon the outward world.

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.

Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated.

Love doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.

Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.

Be careful of love. It'll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.

We love the things we love for what they are.

Speak low, if you speak love.

It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

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

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.

Despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, I have not been able to answer... the great question that has never been answered: what does a woman want?

A woman should soften but not weaken a man.

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

We are all born for love; it is the principle of existence and its only end.

To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
