“Love is not feeling, child, nor even the passion of lovers, which always seeks only its own gratification.

You cannot love and keep your hands clean.” GivingChildrenFeelingsHandsPassionLove IsLoversWeakCleanRaisedCaringDesperateHelplessAltruismGratificationDefenceDesperate Love Book:James Miranda Barry Source: James Miranda Barry
