“You asked me about love…” His gaze softened to the point where it was painful to look into his eyes. “Little one…” “It was not until you returned into my life that I grasped the true meaning of the word,” she confided, unable to ignore the deep yearning for his closeness and affection any longer. “Love is not a choice and definitely not something one can control. My love for you is like an unstoppable, wild storm. It might end up destroying me from within, but it will not change the fact you have always been my destiny.”

“I am not a believer in love at first sight. For love, in its truest form, is not the thing of starry-eyed or star-crossed lovers, it is far more organic, requiring nurturing and time to fully bloom, and, as such, seen best not in its callow youth but in its wrinkled maturity. Like all living things, love, too, struggles against hardship, and in the process sheds its fatuous skin to expose one composed of more than just a storm of emotion–one of loyalty and divine friendship. Agape. And though it may be temporarily blinded by adversity, it never gives in or up, holding tight to lofty ideals that transcend this earth and time–while its counterfeit simply concludes it was mistaken and quickly runs off to find the next real thing.”

“Fate rushes down upon us! The time drags and the days plod past, lulling us into thinking that the doom we fear will always so delay. Then, abruptly, the dark days we have all predicted are upon us, and the time when we could have turned dire fate aside has passed. How old must I be before I learn? There is no time; there is never any time. Tomorrow may never come, but todays are inexorably linked in a chain, and now is always the only time we have to divert disaster.”

“Wenn ein innerer Tatbestand nicht bewußtgemacht wird, dann ereignet er sich als Schicksal außen, das heißt, wenn der Einzelne einheitlich bleibt und sich seines inneren Gegensatzes nicht bewußt wird, so muß wohl die Welt den Konflikt darstellen und in zwei Hälften zerteilt werden.”
