Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.

is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.

Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition.

Both at once can produce unbearable turmoil.

thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
