“To see someone you love, in a bad setting, is one of the great barometers of gratitude.”

“The barometer of his emotional nature was set for a spell of riot.”

“Love & care for one another, gratitude & compassion are the ultimate state of being. This is living on the super-conscious level of life, seeing the soul of one another.”

“You can't make someone love you." She held out her right hand to flash a ring with a gaudy stone set in it. "But you can imprison him in a ring for not loving you. See?”

“But gratitude would not have me love you as I do. Love was inspired by what you are - the good, the bad, and even the foolish, which is what you're being right now.”

“I don't want to see it anymore. It's lousy. And it's a cheat. You build it all around something... set yourself on something... and then you don't want it. Isn't it too bad the great truths are all such lies?”
