The end of one stage is only the beginning of another. Any dangers overcome are the necessary preparation to do better in the next stage.

No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they're doing. even if one complains later on that they were used.

In the cycle of nature there is no such thing as victory or defeat; there is only movement.

But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided.
