“He who has loved once will not love again”
“The more cold, calculating, and circumspect we are, the less we are attacked by ridicule. Selfishness may be disgusting, but it is not ridiculous, for it is reasonable. However, there are people who love themselves with such tenderness, are amazed at their genius with such delight, think about their well-being with such tenderness, about their displeasures with such compassion, that in them selfishness has a funny side of enthusiasm and sensitivity”
“And the heart burns and loves again - because it cannot help but love”
“All ages are submissive to love”
