I love for the sake of what I have loved, and what I have loved I would not go back to loving.
Quiero por lo que quise, y lo que quise, no volvería a quererlo.

More quotes by Antonio Porchia
Sometimes I believe that evil is everything, and that good is only a beautiful desire for evil.
Among the superficial, if you are not one of them, one of them has to lead you by the hand.
Cuando no creo en nada, no quisiera encontrarme contigo, cuando no crees en nada.
Hasta las flores, para emanar sus perfumes, han menester morirse un poco.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
