"I wish I were the lily's leaf..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“The charm, one might say the genius, of memory is that it is choosy, chancy and temperamental.”

“Or from Browning some "Pomegranate," which if cut deep down the middle Shows a heart within blood-tinctured, of a veined humanity.”

“Quick-loving hearts ... may quickly loathe.”

“Giving is true loving.”

“Love each other dearly always. There is scarcely anything else in the world but that: to love one another.”

“Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself.”

“Some people never say the words ‘I love you’, for like a child they’re longing to be told.”

“This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.”

“We all are imbued with the love of praise.”
