“Love sought is good, but giv'n unsought is better.”
“Unasked, Unsought, Love gives itself but is not bought”
“It is not, indeed, to be supposed that you would wish to marry any one till you were asked: a girl's affections should never be won unsought. But when they are sought - when the citadel of the heart is fairly besieged - it is apt to surrender sooner than the owner is aware of, and often against her better judgment, and in opposition to all her preconceived ideas of what she could have loved, unless she be extremely careful and discreet.”
“Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.”
“Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected.”
“Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.”
