I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.

Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love.

We're all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.

We never get enough of falling in love and believing in love.

We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire.
