Beloved

• “Someone who loves you won’t worry about you for days. Someone who loves you will do the impossible to talk to you. Someone who loves you won’t bear a moment of your absence; they’ll make up a thousand excuses to talk to you. So don’t trust someone who disappears and then comes back with a flimsy excuse.”

• “In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.”

• “The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.”

• “He loved her so passionately he wanted her to be one soul and one body with him; and he was conscious that here, with those deep roots attaching her to the native life, she would always keep something from him.”

• “Any man who talks about his love affairs thereby proves he is ignorant of love and is moved only by vanity.”

• “Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever.”
