| When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. |
| Love is the wine of existence. |
| Nothing is so sensitive as love-and the greater, the more sensitive. It cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed from out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low. |
| Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. |
| Most human beings are quite likeable if you do not see too much of them. |
| Love is an exploding cigar which we willingly smoke. |
| Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside. |
| Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. |
| Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time. |
| Love is a net that catches hearts like fish. |
