“Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence; hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition”
“You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.”
“Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth, and truth in the darkness of the mind.”

“Motherhood is the keystone of the arch of matrimonial happiness.”
“A sick child is always the mother's property; her own feelings generally make it so.”
“I will never understand children. I never pretended to. I meet mothers all the time who make resolutions to themselves. 'I'm going to ... go out of my way to show them I am interested in them and what they do. I am going to understand my children.' These women end up making rag rugs, using blunt scissors.”
More on Love
“Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.”
“A simple I love you means more than money.”
“I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.”
