Love without conversation is impossible.

Love can be unselfish, in the sense of being benevolent and generous, without being selfless.

Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange.

We love even when our love is not requited.

Love wishes to perpetuate itself. Love wishes for immortality.

In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.
