“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

“Emoţiile mortale sunt intense, palide şi egale. Cei cu adevărat în stare să sufere sufleteşte au şi orgoliul de a refula totul, au şi durerea inferiorităţii lor de o clipă - şi poate că tocmai această comprimare mistuie şi doare mai mult, deci e de presupus că tocmai cei mândri, care îşi ascund simţirea, sunt cei care, şi mai ales prin asta, suferă cu adevărat.”
