The story of a
love is not important -- what is important is that one is
capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are
permitted of eternity.
-- Helen Hayes
1900-1993, American Actress
The truth is
that there is only one terminal dignity -- love. And the
story of a love is not important -- what is important is
that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse
we are permitted of eternity.
-- Helen Hayes
1900-1993, American Actress
The love of
liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love
of ourselves. We cannot force love.
-- William Hazlitt
1778-1830, British Essayist
One would
always want to think of oneself as being on the side of
love, ready to recognize it and wish it well --but, when
confronted with it in others, one so often resented it,
questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the
particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely
jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a
sentiment in anyone but oneself?
-- Shirley Hazzard
1931-, Australian-born
American Author
