"Love and dignity cannot share the same abode."

"If a man, who says he loves you, won’t tell you the details of a private conversation between him and another woman you can be sure he is not protecting your heart.

"The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity."

"The love of liberty and the sense of human dignity are the basic elements of the Anarchist creed."
