“It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”
― Zelda Fitzgerald

“I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.”
― Woody Allen

“Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful.”
― Milan Kundera
