“She had never realized any love save love as passion. Such love, though it expends itself in generosity and thoughtfulness, though it give birth to visions and to great poetry, remains among the sharpest expressions of self-interest.

Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.”
