― Søren Kierkegaard, Works of Love

“You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love.”

“In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another.”
