Intense Quotations
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
Oscar Wilde
Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
Mother Teresa
The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.
Carl Jung

Edgar Allan Poe
