“Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself”

““I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.”

“Don't forget to love yourself.”

“I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.”

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

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