For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
I never stopped loving you. Even when I was in love with someone else.
—Jessie Evans in Melt with You
Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
The portrait of my parents is a complicated one, but lovingly drawn.
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.
