"When one does not love too much,..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“The imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.”

“We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.”

“Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.”

“I want in fact more of you. In my mind I am dressing you with light; I am wrapping you up in blankets of complete acceptance and then I give myself to you. I long for you; I who usually long without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.”

“There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.”

“One does not fall "in" or "out" of love. One grows in love.”

“Many a one commits a reprehensible action, who is at bottom an honourable man, because man seldom acts upon natural impulse, but from some secret passion of the moment which lies hidden and concealed within the narrowest folds of his heart.”

“Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.”

“What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?”
