When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.

Man must never be satisfied with his ability to love. No matter where he is, it is always just the beginning.

When he looked at me, I saw my own soul. His gaze broke through all my assumptions, all my barriers. I was stripped to the very essence of my being. He saw all my lies and my failures and all my sinful ways. And yet he loved me still.

I was dominated, soul, brain, and power by you. You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.

I will love you always, because you will always be worthy of love.

When poverty creeps in at the door, love flies in through the window.

It is possible, of course, that I may exaggerate about them. I certainly hope that I do; for where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding. It is only about things that do not interest one, that one can give a really unbiassed opinion; and this is no doubt the reason why an unbiassed opinion is always valueless.

No, as far as I am concerned, let your wife cherish the memory of this dead, stainless mother.  Why should I interfere with her illusions? 

This amazing outpouring of courage and love started a recovery journey that has changed my life….

Failure is never final where love exists.

Every time I say I love you I mean it more than the last time.

Never ask why I love you, just accept that I do, and that I will for the rest of my life.
