Absence to love is what wind is to fire. It extinguishes the small; it inflames the great.
离别之于爱情好比风之于火，它能将小火熄灭，使大火熊熊燃烧。
——Roger de Bussy-Rabutin 拉比旦
Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.
分离爱更切，相聚爱弥坚。
——Thomas Fuller 托马斯·富勒
Absence - that common cure of love.
别离——爱情的灵丹妙药。
——Lord Byron 拜伦勋爵
Love reckons nours for months, and days for years; And every little absence is an age.
爱把小时算作月，爱把日子当作年；每次短暂别离，恍若隔世苦难言。
——John Dryden 德赖登
