There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.

True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.

We forgive so long as we love.

It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it

We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
