More on Love
“I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates. Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind. Love says, 'I love you. I love you if you're in China. I love you if you're across town. I love you if you're in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I'd like to have your arms around me. I'd like to hear your voice in my ear. But that's not possible now, so I love you. Go.'”
“Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.”
“Unrequited love is as different from the mutual love as the error from the truth.”

“The pleasure is our choice.”
“At this hour Lie at my mercy all mine enemies.”
