كُن عظيمًا ليختاركَ الحبُّ العظيم، وإلا فَنَصيبُكَ حبٌّ يَسفُّ التراب، ويتمرّغ في الأوحال، فتظَلَّ على ما أنت، أو تهبط به بدلًا مِن أنْ تسمو إلى أبراجٍ لَم تَرَها عين، ولَم تخطُر عجائبُها على قلبِ بشر. — مي زيادة
Needless to say, great love is very rare because great individuals are very rare (but surely your mind is telling you right now that you are the exception and you'll get all you want, someday, maybe)

For, if we visited Mars or Venus keeping the same senses, they would clothe in the same aspect as the things of the earth everything that we should be capable of seeing. The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is.
