We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
love-you love-is blood
A friend loves you for your intelligence, a mistress for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning; you were born into it and are of its flesh and blood. Nevertheless it can irritate you more than any group of people in the world.
love men
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.

[...] marriage is one thing, and love is another...You need to have a solid canvas; nobody stops you to weave the arabesques...

A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
love happiness anniversary
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.

A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.
