“When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you'd like them to be.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
― Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

“Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got.”
― Janis Joplin

“And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on.”
― George Gordon Byron
