“So far as love or affection is concerned, psychologists have failed in their mission. The little we know about love does not transcend simple observation, and the little we write about it has been written better by poets and novelists.”

“We know so little about one another. We embrace a shadow and love a dream.”

“...I wondered why so much had been written about love's pain and so little about the glorious relief of being delivered from love's pain.”

“As we cannot be universal by knowing everything there is to know about everything, we must know a little about everything, because it is much better to know something about everything than everything about something. Such universality is the finest. It would be still better if we could have both together, but, if a choice must be made, this is the one to choose. The world knows this and does so, for the world is often a good judge.”

“Much has been written and sung of the things we do for love and friendship. Not as much about the mistakes we make trying to banish lonliness.”

“I feel pretty good about it so far, but it's been a little harder to write than I'd hoped.”
