They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.

In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby.

Most people love you for who you pretend to be.

I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.

A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

One must learn to be a sponge if one wants to be loved by hearts that overflow.
