"Unclothed, you are true, like one of your hands, lissome, terrestrial, slight, complete, translucent..." —Pablo Neruda

"Armoniosi accenti dal tuo labbro volavano, e dagli occhi ridenti trasluceano di Venere i disdegni e le paci la speme, il pianto e i baci." —Ugo Foscolo

"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination, nor both together, go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." —Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is any reaction, both are transformed." —Carl Jung

""We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us." —Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
