I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you... - Pietro Aretino
"I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies."
"I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies."
"I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship."
