“Honesty is a heart that betrays itself for a dream, a moment, a kiss.”
“It must be that I am dreaming, and that I shall awaken in a moment to see that awful knife descending toward my heart- kiss me, dear, just once before I lose my dream forever."-Jane-”
“Personal honesty takes time to assert itself - if it is ever allowed to.”
“An empty religion will betray itself in relationships.”
“It feels so bitter getting a kiss for a betrayal.”
“...the way a man might hesitate before he kissed a woman, to gauge her reaction, to see how he would be received. Perhaps he would hesitate to prolong the moment, that ideal moment of anticipation, sometimes better than kiss itself.”
