“Love is energy of life.”

“At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone”

“Love and friendship exclude each other”

“To be among people one loves, that's sufficient; to dream, to speak to them, to be silent among them, to think of indifferent things; but among them, everything is equal”

“You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls”

“For life, with all its yields of joy and woe, and hope and fear, believe the aged friend, is just a chance o' the prize of learning love”
