There is only one good thing in life, and that is love. And how you misunderstand it! how you spoil it! You treat it as something solemn like a sacrament, or something to be bought, like a dress.
Guy de MaupassantWhether we are describing a king, an assassin, a thief, an honest man, a prostitute, a nun, a young girl, or a stallholder in a market, it is always ourselves that we are describing.
Guy de MaupassantWe breathe love as we breathe air; we hold it in ourselves as we hold our thoughts. Nothing more exists for us.
