“Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.”
― Edmond De Goncourt

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.”
― James A. Baldwin

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost
