We could go back to the time when we first met: a man in emotional tatters over someone who had left him, and a woman madly in love with her neighbor. I could repeat what I said to you once: 'I'm going to fight to the bitter end.' Well, I fought and I lost, and now I'll just have to lick my wounds and leave.

You cannot trust a person until you know where and how he lives

There is only one sin - lack of love. Be brave, be capable of loving, even if love seems a terrible and treacherous thing. Find joy in love. Find joy in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart.

Respect those who grew up and learned alongside you. Respect those who taught you.

Feelings form part of a world in which time, space and frontiers do not exist.

I love you because all the loves in the world are like different rivers flowing into the same lake where they meet and are transformed into a single love that becomes rain and blesses the earth.

Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.
