Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face. - George Eliot

"Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love."

"It is never too late to be what you might have been."

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

"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"

"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."
