We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.

Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.

The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.

To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
