My own opinion is that [love] is felt most completely in marriage, or some comparable attachment of long duration.

Love takes time. What are called "love affairs" may afford a wide, and in retrospect, illuminating variety of emotions; not only fierce satisfactions and swooning delights, but the horrors of jealousy and the desperation of parting attend them; the hangover from one of these emotional riots may be long and dreadful. But rarely have the pleasures of love an opportunity to manifest themselves in such riots of passion. Love affairs are for emotional sprinters; the pleasures of love are for the emotional marathoners. -Robertson Davies The greater part of humanity is too much harassed and fatigued by the struggle with want, to rally itself for a new and sterner struggle with error. -Friedrich Von Schiller One cannot spend one's time in being modern when there are so many more important things to be. - Wallace Stevens Short is the glory of the blushing rose, The hue which thou so carefully dost nourish, Yet which at length thou must be forced to lose. -Samuel Daniel

Error is acceptable as long as we are young; but one must not drag it along into old age.

Hunger is an altogether fit companion for the idle man. -Hesiod Hypocrisy is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of belonging. -Alexander Theroux
