Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of l... - George Eliot

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

"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."

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

"The progress of the world can certainly never come at all save by the modified action of the individual beings who compose the world."

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