Leo Tolstoy

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.

Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.

God is the same everywhere.

When I told you I wasn’t in love, I lied.

My love rumbles like the sternum of a lion. Be mindful of the beast you stir up.

To be fully seen by somebody, then and be loved anyhow – this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.

I hope you find a love. Your own designs of love.

I’d tell you how beautiful you look today, but there’s not enough time before sunset to tell how you set fire to a sundress; my mouth is overflowing from yesterday.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

There is no remedy for love than to love more.

Once you have drunk from the water of unconditional love, no other well can satisfy your thirst. The pangs of separation may become so intense that seeking the affection of the Beloved becomes an obsession.

They are different now than they were. My mother never had to say she was a queen to be one. I instinctively knew. So it makes sense now that I am sorely confused by the women who try to convince me with words.

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

Tonight, once more, life sinks its teeth into my heart.

Spread love everywhere you go let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

The moonlight melts into lace across your thighs. Unbridled passion, an Elliott Smith vinyl, and the intimate place of you.
