“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.” - Thomas Merton
“We (me and Liz) do not hide our loves hypocritically, and when in love, we are loyal and faithful to our men.” - Ava Gardner
