That feeling which solves all of the contradictions of human life and gives one the greatest bliss is known to all people: this feeling is love.
Pay bad people with your goodness; fight their hatred with your kindness. Even if you do not achieve victory over other people, you will conquer yourself.
—HENRI AMIEL
Love destroys death and makes it empty; it gives meaning to senseless things; from unhappiness, love makes real happiness.
Fire purifies everything in the material world; love purifies everything in the spiritual world.
—HENRI AMIEL
The less love a person has, the more he suffers.
If you are in a difficult situation, a low mood, if you are afraid of other people and of yourself, if you are tormented, then tell yourself: “I will love everyone whom I meet in this life.” Try to follow this rule; and you will see that everything will find its way, and everything will seem simple, and you will no longer have doubts or fears.
