"Love isn't an act. It's a whole life. It's staying with her now because she needs you; it's knowing you and she will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures- when all that's on the shelf and done with. Love-why, I'll tell you what love is: it's you at 75 and her at 71, each of you listening for the other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over." -Brian Moore
I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice and came to a certain conclusion, Mr. Darcy is a figment of my wild imagination, Mr. Wickham is undoubtedly my past "love" and I am falling for a Mr. Bingley. Ideally all three men do not in anyway shape or form represent the only type of men that I have loved or will love but that doesn't mean when push comes to shove in the aspect of love in my life I will ever find a Mr. Darcy. Jane Austin, was in fact an one of most influential writers of her time. Even to this day, her works are taught in high regards in many schools. But personally, she never did marry and never did get her Mr. Darcy. Yes he is a fictional character but he symbolizes not necessarily what a man should be but the love for Elizabeth is uncanny even to this day and it symbolizes in great volumes what a man should do when he is in love. He was aloof, distant and only said I love you once completely out of the left field after Elizabeth just found out that he broke up jane and mr. bingley. But yes there is a but after knowing just saying i love you wasnt going to change elizabeth's feelings for him he went and resolved the situation, saved her family from shame and got jane and bingley back together. His actions spoke volumes in comparison to those three little words. That is what makes him ideally a great man.
Love is that.
