Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.

As for me, to love you alone, to make you happy, to do nothing which would contradict your wishes, this is my destiny and the meaning of my life.

I do not believe it is in our nature to love impartially. We deceive ourselves when we think we can love two beings, even our own children, equally. There is always a dominant affection.

I love animals because all they really want from you is love. Too bad that's even too much to ask for from some people.

Everything is clearer when you're in love.
