"May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!" ― Henry David Thoreau Topic(s): Love Tags: never More From Henry David Thoreau "True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance." "There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life." "Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it." More In Love "No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now."― Alan Watts "Those whom we can love, we can hate; to others we are indifferent."― Henry David Thoreau "We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving."― Cyril Connolly
