"Whoever has loved once, knows all that..." - Quote by George Sand

“we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.”

“The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.”

“No human creature can give orders to love.”

“Written kisses never arrive at their destination; the ghosts drink them up along the way.”

“We know that from time to time there arise among human beings people who seem to exude love as naturally as the sun gives out heat.”

“The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.”

“You are the Hero of your own Story.”

“Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.”

“Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendships and intimacies … and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to "keep" by force of mere inertia.”
