"Whoever lives true life, will love true..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“Folded eyes see brighter colors than the open ever do.”

“Whatever's lost, it first was won.”

“Yet how proud we are,In daring to look down upon ourselves!”

“The reality is there is only each present moment: You are called to give a talk. You get out of a building and into a car. You look out of the window. You arrive at the venue. You sit in the chair; you wait; you step out onto the stage. Every movement is simple. There is only that.”

“Legacy is a stupid thing! I don't want a legacy.”

“The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn't still be a farmer.”

“I have never yet found that the advice of a Sister could prevent a young Man's being in love if he chose it.”

“The biggest changes in a women's nature are brought by love; in man, by ambition”

“I believe you [men] capable of everything great and good in your married lives. I believe you equal to every important exertion, and to every domestic forbearance, so long as - if I may be allowed the expression, so long as you have an object. I mean, while the woman you love lives, and lives for you. All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one, you need not covet it) is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.”
