“When we grow up, we lose the talent for loving without restrictions.”
“When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.”
Quand nous perdons un être aimé, ce qui nous fait pleurer les larmes qui ne soulagent point, c'est le souvenir des moments où nous ne l'avons pas assez aimé.
Wisdom and Destiny (1898)
