Quote by Pablo Neruda

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.

Ultimately, it suggests that love can be both fleeting and profoundly challenging to let go of.

...for until that God who rules all the region of the sky...has freed you from the fetters of your body, you cannot gain admission here. Men were created with the understanding that they were to look after that sphere called Earth, which you see in the middle of the temple.
