It's better to lose your pride to someone you love

It's better to lose your pride to someone you love,
than to lose your love because of your pride.
Be a friend of thousands, be a lover of one.
Never let go of the one who truly loves you

Only love and death will change all things

My house says to me, "Do not leave me, for here dwells your past."
And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future."
And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death will change all things."
Khalil Gibran - Sand and Foam

Un seul être vous manque et tout est dépeuplé

French: Un seul être vous manque et tout est dépeuplé.

English: You miss one person and the whole world is deserted.
Lamartine, L'isolement
