ILE - Don Quixote: “My heart is wax to be moulded as she pleases, but enduring as marble to retain.”
SEI - Dumas: "Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit."
LII - Robspierre: "Again, it may be said, that to love justice and equality the people need no great effort of virtue; it is sufficient that they love themselves."
ESE - Hugo: "The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
SLE - Zhukov: "I enjoy being the bad guy. It's a lot easier to get people to hate you than to love you."
IEI - Yesenin: "My love has changed; I know you feel upset about the situation. / The crescent's sweeper couldn't spill / The pools of lyrical creation."
LSI - Gorky: "When one loves somebody everything is clear - where to go, what to do - it all takes care of itself and one doesn't have to ask anybody about anything."
EIE - Hamlet: "Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love."
SEE - Napolean: "You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours. Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire."
ILI - Balzac: "A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea."
LIE - Jack: "Wherefore I marry Hester Stebbins. I am not impelled by the archaic sex madness of the beast, nor by the obsolescent romance madness of later-day man. I contract a tie which reason tells me is based upon health and sanity and compatibility. My intellect shall delight in that tie."
ESI - Dreiser: "Remember, love is all a woman has to give, but it is the only thing which God permits us to carry beyond the grave."
IEE - Huxley: "Love casts out fear; but conversely fear casts out love."
SLI - Gabin: ???
EII - Dostoevsky: "On our earth we can only love with suffering and through suffering. We cannot love otherwise, and we know of no other sort of love. I want suffering in order to love. I long, I thirst, this very instant, to kiss with tears the earth that I have left, and I don't want, I won't accept life on any other!"
LSE - Stirlitz: ???
