“a man cannot embrace a woman’s faults until he loves her. A woman embraces the faults and then falls in love.”

“If a man hasn't what's necessary to make a woman love him, it's his fault, not hers.”

“Her only fault is that she lacks sense enough to avoid falling in love with such a fool as I!”

“It has always seemed to me that if one falls in love with any gentleman one becomes instantly blind to his faults. But I am not blind to your faults, and I do not think that everything you do or say is right! Only—Is it being—not very comfortable—and cross—and not quite happy, when you aren’t there?” “That, my darling,” said his lordship, taking her ruthlessly into his arms, “is exactly what it s!” “Oh—!” Frederica gasped, as she emerged from an embrace which threatened to suffocate her. “Now I know! I am in love!”

“Embrace the love of God, and by love embrace God”

“Acceptance is to love and embrace everything that we find within ourselves like a mother embraces her child.”
