Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
~ Bette Davis.
Pleasure of love lasts but a moment,
Pain of love lasts a lifetime.
~ Jean Pierre Claris De Florian.
Unable are the loved to die for love is immortality.
~ Emily Dickinson.
Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.
~ Isak Dinesen.
