You can transmute love, muddle it, ignore it... but you can never pull it out of you...

They go forth with well-developed bodies, fairly developed minds and undeveloped hearts. An undeveloped heart-not a cold one. The difference is important.

People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness.

Away she hurried, not beautiful, not supremely brilliant, but filled with something that took the place of both qualities -- something best described as a profound vivacity, a continual and sincere response to all that she encountered in her path through life.
