“Sensual love deceives one as to the nature of heavenly love; it could not do so alone, but since it unconsciously has the element of heavenly love within it, it can do so.”

“Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all”

“Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.”

“Only when it is a duty to love, only then is love eternally and happily secured against despair”

“Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life”

“Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall”
