“These are grand words; we must make sure we deserve them. Listen to them again: ‘I love you.'”
“Perhaps love is essential because it is unnecessary.”
“So religion and art must yield to love. It gives us our humanity, and also our mysticism. There is more to us than us.”
all from A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, by Julian Barnes
“The eskimo had fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love.” – Margaret Atwood
