If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.

Love is the only future God offers.

To love and be loved, that is the miracle of youth

And do you know Monsieur Marius? I believe I was a little in love with you.

You are adorable, mademoiselle. I study your feet with the microscope and your soul with the telescope.

The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness.

The soul that loves and suffers is in the sublime state.

Happy, even in anguish, is he to whom God has given a soul worthy of love and grief! He who has not seen the things of this world, and the heart of men in this double light, has seen nothing, and knows noting of the truth.

First of all, I wish you love, and that by loving you may also be loved.But if it’s not like that, be brief in forgettingAnd after you’ve forgotten, don’t keep anything.
