"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love."

"What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love."

"To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise."

"To love someone means to see them as God intended them."
