1 Quite the wisest thing you can do, my love.
2 I know now that you were making love to her.
3 Sergius: I think we two have found the higher love.
4 You shall never get that out of me, for love or money.
5 If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.
6 If I choose to love you, I dare marry you, in spite of all Bulgaria.
7 I could no more fight with you than I could make love to an ugly woman.
8 I may be worthless enough to betray the higher love; but do not you insult it.
9 My love, stronger than anything you can feel, even for your chocolate cream soldier.
10 I would marry the man I loved, which no other queen in Europe has the courage to do.
11 You know that I love another woman, a woman as high above you as heaven is above earth.
12 It means that you love me, and that I have had you here in my arms, and will perhaps have you there again.
13 You allow him to make love to you behind my back, just as you accept me as your affianced husband behind his.
14 If I loved you, though you would be as far beneath me as I am beneath you, I would dare to be the equal of my inferior.
