There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

When it aims to express a love of the world it refuses to conceal the many reasons why the world is hard to love, though we must love it because we have no other, and to fail to love it is not to exist at all.

Love often wears a mask in order to test loyalty.

Dramatically it's always more interesting to conceal rather than reveal things.

Everybody has a bit of body armor they wear to protect themselves, and love is about trying to break it down. You have to see who a person really is and connect with her to break that armor.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

Love is a mess, at best, and I figure it can be very real in spite of all the things people try to attach to it.

Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.
