Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
I only know we loved in vain; I only feel-farewell! farewell!
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
If we must have a tyrant, let him at least be a gentleman who has been bred to the business, and let us fall by the axe and not by the butcher's cleaver.
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
