I've met a man and fallen in love with him. I allowed myself to fall in love for one simple reason: I'm not expecting anything to come of it. I know that, in three months' time, I'll be far away and he'll be just a memory, but I couldn't stand living without love any longer; I had reached my limit.

That is the most common excuse, and the most foolish of all. Love has never prevented a man from following his dreams. If she truly loves you, she will want the best for you.

He who does not take insults seriously, is on the path to wisdom.

Our soul is governed by four invisible forces: love, death, power and time.

Only a fool makes threats, and only another fool feels threatened.

Absolute freedom does not exist; what does exist is the freedom to choose anything you like and then commit yourself to that decision.

If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself.
