I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.
Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.
Love is a force. . . . It is not a result; it is a cause. It is not a product. It is a power, like money, or steam or electricity. It is valueless unless you can give something else by means of it.

Certain springs are tapped only when you're alone.
People talk about love as if it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers.
When each partner loves so completely that he has forgotten to ask himself whether or not he is loved in return; when he only knows that he loves and is moving to its music--then, and then only are two people able to dance perfectly in tune to the same rhythm.
There is no harvest for the heart alone. The seed of love must be eternally re-sown.
