Albowiem miłość pochodzi z ducha i nie zna śmierci.

“Kruche są podstawy spraw, które opierają się na wierności kobiecej, bowiem kobiety tylko wówczas są wierne, kiedy kochają, a kiedy zaś kochają, niewiara staje się ich wiarą. Nie są stałe… Potrafią zajść wysoko i upaść jeszcze niżej. Są tak silne i zmienne jak morze.”
