I'm not frightened of anything. The more suffering, the more I love. "Danger will only increase my love, it will sharpen it, it will give it spice. I'll be the only angel you need.

Love is not wishing that someone fare better at some task of receive some benefit. Sometimes love desires the beloved fail or even suffer. “To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.” "Love is giving something you don't have to someone who doesn't want it."
