When I think of what life is, and how seldom love is answered by love; it is one of the moments for which the world was made.

Nature pulls one way and human nature another.

I taught him, 'he quavered, "to trust in love. I said:'when love comes, that is reality.' I said: 'Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity, and the woman you love, she is the only person you will ever really understand.

You can transmute love, muddle it, ignore it... but you can never pull it out of you...

You do care a little for me, I know... but nothing to speak of, and you don't love me. I was yours once till death if you'd cared to keep me, but I'm someone else's now... and he's mine in a way that shocks you, but why don't you stop being shocked, and attend to your own happiness.

Love is always being given where it is not required.
