Odi et amo. Love is a butterfly which when pursued is just beyond your grasps, but if you will sit down quietly it may alight upon you. To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. If one judges love by the majority of its effects, it is more like hatred than friendship. The intellect is always fooled by the heart.
Love is a familiar.
Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but love. Happiness is beneficial or the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind. We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.
