Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn't sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim.

We will always meet rivals in everything we do, but the most dangerous are those we believe to be our friends.

Postponing doing the really interesting things in life for later, when you don't have the energy.

I will be able to love above all discontentment. To give even when I am stripped of everything. To dry tears even when I am still crying. To believe even when I am discredited.

Anyone who has known happiness will never again be able humbly to accept sadness.

Love, too, was just a question of time

Sometimes it's what you don't say that counts.
