It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars, and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance." The night wind whirls in the sky and sings. I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. On nights like this, I held her in my arms. I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky. She loved me, sometimes I loved her. How could I not have loved her large, still eyes? I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her. To hear the immense night, more immense without her. And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass. What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her. The night is full of stars and she is not with me. That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away. My soul is lost without her. As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her. My heart searches for her and she is not with me. The same night that whitens the same trees. We, we who were, we are the same no longer. I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her. My voice searched the wind to touch her ear. Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once belonged to my kisses. Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes. I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her. Love is so short and oblivion so long. Because on nights like this I held her in my arms, my soul is lost without her. Although this may be the last pain she causes me, and this may be the last poem I write for her.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/43064/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/43064/ <![CDATA[Clenched Soul We have lost even this twilight. No one saw us this evening hand in hand while the blue night dropped on the world. I have seen from my window the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops. Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin in my hand. I remembered you with my soul clenched in that sadness of mine that you know. Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away? The book fell that always closed at twilight and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet. Always, always you recede through the evenings toward the twilight erasing statues.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/43065/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/43065/ <![CDATA[Together, we'll live with the sadness. I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46263/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46263/ <![CDATA[The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. ]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46444/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46444/ <![CDATA[The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46455/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46455/ <![CDATA[Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higher levels. And when love comes, there is no question of responsibility. You do things because you enjoy doing them for the person you love. You are not obliging the person, you are not even wanting anything in return, not even gratitude. On the contrary, you are grateful that the person has allowed you to do something for him. It was your joy, sheer joy. Love knows nothing of responsibility. It does many things, it is very creative; it shares all that it has, but it is not a responsibility, remember. Responsibility is an ugly word in comparison to love. Love is natural. Responsibility is created by the cunning priests, politicians who want to dominate you in the name of God, in the name of the nation, in the name of family, in the name of religion -- any fiction will do. But they don't talk about love. On the contrary, they are all against love, because love is unable to be controlled by them. A man of love acts out of his own heart, not according to any moral code. A man of love will not join the army because it is his responsibility to fight for his nation. A man of love will say there are no nations, and there is no question of any fight.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46470/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46470/ <![CDATA[i don't miss you.. i miss who i thought you were.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46757/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46757/ <![CDATA[He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/35721/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/35721/ <![CDATA[Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/35713/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/35713/ <![CDATA[When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and bring joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/35710/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/35710/ <![CDATA[Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24890/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24890/ <![CDATA[I never loved another person the way I loved myself.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24902/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24902/ <![CDATA[Yet each man kills the thing he loves from all let this be heard some does it with a bitter look some with a flattering word the coward does it with a kiss the brave man with the sword.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24906/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24906/ <![CDATA[Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24913/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24913/ <![CDATA[When once estrangement has arisen between those who truly love each other, everything seems to widen the breach.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24931/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24931/ <![CDATA[In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past -- a pious guardian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24947/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24947/
