...Nobody knows like a woman how to say things that are both... - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

"I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning."

"Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds."

"If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring."

"where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?"

"Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved."
