"Great loves were almost always great tragedies. Perhaps it was because love was never truly great until the element of sacrifice entered into it."
-MARY ROBERTS RINEHART, DANGEROUS DAYS
"If love be good, from whennes cometh my woe?"
-GEOFFREY CHAUCER, TROILUS AND CRISEYDE
"Love can be understood only ‘from the inside,’ as a language can be understood only by someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only by someone who lives in it."
-EDUCATOR ROBERT C. SOLOMON
The day after entertainer Jack Benny died, his widow, Mary, received a single long-stemmed rose from the local florist. When she got another rose the next day, she called the florist, who told her that her husband had placed an order before his death: to supply a perfect red rose every day for the rest of Mary’s life.
"Love is a great beautifier."
-LOUISA MAY ALCOTT, LITTLE WOMEN
WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE, THE SKY’S THE LIMIT
To lure their lovers, wealthy women in the 1760s sought higher and higher hairstyles, until it could take half a day to create them. They were built up into a tower with horsehair and false hairpieces covered with pomade. The Empress Maria Theresa of Austria chastised her daughter for her hair, writing: "They say that your coiffure rises 36 inches . . . and is decorated with a mass of feathers and ribbons which makes it even higher!"
"Of all Love’s speeches, silence is best."
