Personal quotes
"I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship
is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't
be right to make it look too easy."
"Wounded
vanity knows when it is mortally hurt; and limps off
the field, piteous, all disguises thrown away. But pride
carries its banner to the last; and fast as it is driven
from one field unfurls it in another, never admitting
that there is a shade less honor in the second field
than in the first, or in the third than in the second."
"All
summer she scattered the daisy leaves; They only mocked
her as they fell. She said: "The daisy but deceives;
'He loves me not,' 'he loves me will,' One story no
two daisies tell." Ah foolish heart, which waits
and grieves Under the daisy's mocking spell."
"But
all lost things are in the angels' keeping, Love; No
past is dead for us, but only sleeping, Love; The years
of Heaven with all earth's little pain Make Good Together
there we can begin again In babyhood."
"When
the baby dies, On every side Rose stranger's voices,
hard and harsh and loud. The baby was not wrapped in
any shroud. The mother made no sound. Her head was bowed
That men's eyes might not see Her misery."
