“Bir kadini sevmenin ne demek oldugunu bilirsiniz, gunlerin nasil kisaliverdigini, insanin nasil tatli bir tembellikle ertesi gune suruklendigini de iyi bilirsiniz. Guven dolu, paylasilan, siddetli bir asktan dogan o her seyi, butun dunyayi unutmanin ne demek oldugunu bilmez degilsinizdir. Insan sevgilisinde her gun yeni bir cekicilik, bilinmeyen bir zevk bulur. Yasam artik surekli bir istegin gerceklestirilmesinden, uygulanmasindan baska bir sey degildir. Ruh artik sadece askin kutsal atesini surdurmekle, onu gozetmekle gorevli Vestal Rahibesinden baska bir sey degildir.”

“You know what it is to be in love with a woman, you know how it cuts short the days, and with what loving listlessness one drifts into the morrow. You know that forgetfulness of everything which comes of a violent confident, reciprocated love. Every being who is not the beloved one seems a useless being in creation. Every day one discovers in one's mistress a new charm and unknown delights. Existence itself is but the unceasing accomplishment of an unchanging desire; the soul is but the vestal charged to feed the sacred fire of love.”
