Love not what you are but only what you may become.

Love not what you are but only what you may become.

Miguel de Cervantes

Love, Vision, May

Love is a power too strong to be overcome by anything but flight.

Miguel de Cervantes

Love, Strong, Overcoming

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1948). “The Living Thoughts of Cervantes”

'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.

Miguel de Cervantes

Love, Running, Morning

Miguel De Cervantes (1930). “Don Quixote”

The eyes those silent tongues of love.

Miguel de Cervantes

Love, Eye, Tongue
