True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
