Alberto MoraviaYou can't think on purpose about somebody or something. Either you think about them naturally or you don't think at all.
Alberto MoraviaLoyalty, Signor Molteni, not love. Penelope is loyal to Ulysses but we do not know how far she loved him...and as you know people can sometimes be absolutely loyal without loving. In certain cases, in fact, loyalty is form of vengeance, of black-mail, of recovering one's self-respect. Loyalty, not love.
Alberto Moravia
