Number of Quotes: 2
I believe people who think love prevents one from thinking clearly are wrong; for then one thinks very clearly
and is more active than before. And love is something eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the
same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much
performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
