We women do not forget you so soon as you forget us. Women love beyond all sensible limits. We cannot help ourselves.[to Captain Harville]
There’s a reason widowed men die soonest and unmarried women live longest. We’re great company.
The only privilege I claim for my sex is that of loving longest. Loving even when hope is gone. Loving because you don’t have a choice.[to Captain Harville]
One’s family is only escapable by two things, marriage and death.
It is the great misfortune of poetry that it’s seldom enjoyed safely by those capable of enjoying it completely.
Don’t let anyone tell you how to live. Or who to love.
