"I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved..." - Quote by Jane Austen
I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.

More on Love
“Fish love the ocean. Snakes move like earth-fish inside a mountain,well away from seawater. Certain sunfish,though,turn snakes into ocean lovers.”
“Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you.”
“We, unaccustomed to courageexiles from delightlive coiled in shells of lonelinessuntil love leaves its high holy templeand comes into our sightto liberate us into life.”
More on Communication
“COMMUNICATION: If I had to pick a first rule of communication-the one practice above all others that opens the door to connecting with others-it would be to look for common ground. Too often people see communication as the process of transmitting massive amounts of information to other people. But that's the wrong picture. Communication is a journey. The more that people have in common, the better the chance that they can take that journey together.”
“What a difficult thing it is to ask someone's advice on a matter without coloring his judgment by the way in which we present our problem.”
“Dispute not with her: she is lunatic.”
