Roger de Bussy-Rabutin
Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great.
Francois de la Rouchefoucauld
Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.
Khalil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Hans Nouwens
In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.
George Eliot
What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they
are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other
in silent unspeakable memories.
Thomas Fuller
Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.
Anonymous
A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see, it's you and me
Together forever and never apart,
Maybe in distance, but never in heart.

“They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill what never dies.
Nor can spirits ever be divided, that love and live in the same divine principle, the root and record of their friendship.
If absence be not death, neither is theirs.
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still.
For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent.
In this divine glass they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure.
This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.”
― William Penn, Some Fruits of Solitude / More Fruits of Solitude
Yes! I love You.
