I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved. - George Eliot

"I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear."

"Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face."

"But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope."

"Adventure is not outside man; it is within."

"Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another."
