Love exalts as much as glory does.

I must have true love or nothing.

I could dispense with life sooner than with your love.

You are not only the solar spectrum with the seven luminous colours, but the sun himself, that illumines, warms, and revivifies! This is what you are, and I am the lowly woman that adores you.

I love you because I love you, because it would be impossible not to love you. I love you without question, without calculation, without reason good or bad, faithfully, with all my heart and soul, and every faculty.

Genius does not only pertain to the brain, it belongs above all to the heart.

The abuse of love, like the abuse of health, brings suffering and death in its train.
