Perhaps one does not desire to be loved as much as to be understood.

Much love germinates in chance; always have the hook ready, and in the place where you least expect it, you will find a catch.

Hurry; do not trust the coming hours. He who is not ready today will be even less so tomorrow.

In love, it's not enough to attack, you have to take the square.

To offer friendship to the one who seeks love is like giving bread to the one dying of thirst.

Hope makes the shipwrecked man wave his arms in the middle of the water, even when he sees no land anywhere.
