"I was not yet in love, yet..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“The rich are like beasts of burden, carrying treasure all day, and at the night of death unladen; they carry to their grave only the bruises and marks of their toil.”

“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”

“Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure: where your treasure, there your heart; where your heart, there your happiness”

“Connection and love: We all want it. Most people settle for connection because love's too scary.”

“Tell us again, for we forget, that work done without love is stillborn, mindless, and lost in the very hour of its deliverance.”

“I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wonering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.”

“The streets of every city in America are filled with men who would pay all the money they could lay their hands on to be transformed, even for a day, into hairy, hard-fisted brutes who walk all over cops, extort drinks from terrified bartenders and roar out of town on big motorcycles after raping the banker's daughter.”

“Most people want to get what they want, whereas the secret is to want what you get at this moment.”

“O heart! O heart! if she'd but turn her head You'd know the folly of being comforted.”
