There Is Always Some Madness In Love But There Is

“One should always be in love. That's the reason one should never marry.”

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

“When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

“Why have you been staring at me ever since we met? Because I’m not the Gail Wynand you’d heard about. You see, I love you. And love is exception-making. If you were in love you’d want to be broken, trampled, ordered, dominated, because that’s the impossible, in the inconceivable for you in your relations with people. That would be the one gift, the great exception you’d want to offer the man you loved. But it wouldn’t be easy for you.”
