10-Passion gives us signs that guide our lives, and it's my turn to decipher those signs.

13-Deep desire, the most real desire is that of approaching someone. From there, reactions begin, man and woman come into play, but what happens before, the attraction that united them, is impossible to explain. It is desire intact, in its pure state.
14-Encounters await us, but most of the time we prevent them from happening. However, if we are desperate, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are very excited about life, then the unknown manifests itself, and our universe changes course.
15-When a boss humiliates an employee, or a man humiliates his wife, he is simply being cowardly, or taking revenge on life; Are people who have never dared to look into the depths of their souls, who have never sought to know where the desire to release the wild beast comes from.
16-A woman's encounter with herself is a game with serious risks. A divine dance. When we meet we are two divine energies, two universes that collide. If the encounter does not have the necessary reverence, one universe destroys the other.

23-In all the languages of the world there is a same saying: eyes that do not see, heart that does not feel. For I affirm that there is nothing more false than that; The further away, the closer to the heart are the feelings we try to stifle and forget. If we are in exile, we want to keep every little remembrance of our roots, if we are far from the loved one, every person who passes in the street reminds us.
24-The art of love is like your painting, it requires technique, patience, and above all practice between the couple. It requires daring, it is necessary to go beyond what people conventionally call"making love".
