I never thought before, that there was a woman in the world who could affect me so much by saying so little. But don't be hard in your construction of me. You don't know what my state of mind towards you is. You don't know how you haunt and bewilder me. You don't know how the cursed carelessness that is over-officious in helping me at every other turning of my life WON'T help me here. You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes wish you had struck me dead along with it.

Gay and lesbian people want to love and be loved. Some of us want to get married. Some want to have and build families. We want our kids to have their lives be a little bit better than what we've had.

My chief occupation, despite appearances, has always been love.

Human love serves to love those dear to us but to love one's enemies we need divine love.

No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.

Everybody wants to share life and be in love and be loved.
