“There is no delight the equal of dread”

“We delight in the promise of falling for love.We crumble in the dread of falling from love.Everyone falls. Everything falls.”

“Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly.”

“You always dread the unfamiliar...We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against.”

“And what delights can equal thoseThat stir the spirit's inner deeps,When one that loves but knows not, reapsA truth from one that loves and knows?”

“Adolescence is a dreadful period. We tend to notice those youngsters who misbehave and call attention to themselves, but there are others, equally miserable, who receive no help simply because they are silent. (41)”
