Love, like death, changes everything.

The whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself; indeed, we should be fully born when we die - although it is the tragic fate of most individuals to die before they are born.

While every human being has a capacity for love, its realization is one of the most difficult achievements

Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's own self.

There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love.

Do not love me because i love you, love me for loving me.
