Don’t do things by halves. If you love a woman, you love her entirely. You give everything. You don’t spend your time in bars, you don’t make love to other women; you don’t take her for granted. All creatures are given gifts, no matter their station or condition. It may be innocence for a lunatic, or heaven for a thief. But one thing is not given, it must be earned; something that a lazy man can never know. Understanding, grace, elevation of the spirit – call it what you will, it comes only of work, sacrifice, and suffering.
Don’t hesitate if you see a chance to feel something beautiful; rush in headlong and abandon caution. We are wretched fools, and our lives are small blemishes on the vastness of eternity. You have the chance to stay awake all night with that beautiful soul; take it. Grasp this life in your two hands and wring out every drop of timeless radiance.
The gods should envy us our mortality, everything becomes lovelier because we’re doomed. She may never be more beautiful than she is at this moment. You will never be here again.

Love your posts!
I loved this! You are one unsual man. Not that men aren't deep, it's just they never see things quite like this.
