Leopold von Sacher-Masoch Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: January 27, 1836 - March 9, 1895
Birthday: January 27
Death: March 9
Love knows no virtue, no profit; it loves and forgives and suffers everything, because it must. It is not our judgment that leads us; it is neither the advantages nor the faults which we discover, that make us abandon ourselves, or that repel us. It is a sweet, soft, enigmatic power that drives us on. We cease to think, to feel, to will; we let ourselves be carried away by it, and ask not whither?
