It is never too late to be what you might have been. - George Eliot

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

"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."

"I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved."

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

"Different taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections."
