“Everything I know, I know because of love.”

Grow spiritually and help others to do so. It is the meaning of life.

I’m like a starving man who has been given food. Maybe he’s cold, and his clothes are torn, and he’s ashamed, but he’s not unhappy.

Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

Be bad, but at least don’t be a liar, a deceiver!

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

Human science fragments everything in order to understand it, kills everything in order to examine it.

I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.

The law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness.

He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.

Faith is the force of life.

Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.

The more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase.

Rest, nature, books, music – such is my idea of happiness.

Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.

Girls are something very special and you got to treat them that way.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love.

The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

Our love was born outside the walls, in the wind, in the night, in the earth, and that’s why the clay and the flower, the mud and the roots know your name.
