Quote by Stephen Cottrell

“Was it love? I don't know. Not yet. Love isn't a feeling. Love isn't just desire, though how I desired her. Love is the patient accumulation of shared memories, the joining together of two lifetimes into one, the weaving of separate stories into the story... [Love is] the greatest gift of all: a lifetime shared, to know and to be known.”

After a while Makepeace was infected with his alert calm. The pain of the cold water became simply something that was, like the blue of the sky. Her mind-fidgets eased.”

“அடங்காத வெறியோடு பொறுமையைக் கைக்கொள்வது மட்டுமே மனம் பக்குவப்பட்டதன் உச்ச அடையாளம்.”
