True love always makes a man better, no matter who the woman is that inspires it.

Woman is sacred; the woman one loves is holy.

There are people who are willing to suffer and swallow their tears at leisure, and God will no doubt reward them in heaven for their resignation; but those who have the will to struggle strike back at fate in retaliation for the blows they receive.

On what slender threads do life and fortune hang.

Sometimes one has suffered enough to have the right to never say: I am too happy.

It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.

...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
