"Love is something totally new every day, but pleasure is not, pleasure has continuity. Love is always new, and therefore it is its own eternity."
"Things, relationship, and ideas are so transparently impermanent, we are ever made unhappy by them...Things are impermanent, they wear out and are lost; relationship is constant friction and death awaits; ideas and beliefs have no stability, no permanency.
