"

If he wants love, man will naturally restrain himself in deeds, words, thoughts from those things which for the one who does not live according to the law of love are the main goal in life. He will refrain from agonizing and keeping wealth, from obtaining honors and glory, he will refrain from all pleasures which are not accessible to all and are always acquired by some at the expense of others. People say it's hard. But I say this only because, not feeling the joy of love, I do not know it and do not believe in it.

Romanian

"Dacă vrea iubire, omul se va înfrâna firesc în fapte, vorbe, gânduri de la acele lucruri care pentru cel ce nu trăiește după legea iubirii sunt scopul principal în viața. Se va abține să agonisească și să păstreze averi, să obțină onoruri și glorie, se va abține de la toate plăcerile care nu sunt accesibile tuturor și se dobândesc întotdeauna de unii în detrimentul altora. Oamenii spun că e greu. Dar spun asta numai pentru că, nesimțind bucuria iubirii, n-o cunosc și nu cred în ea."
