To live without loving is not really to live. - Moliere (pseudonym of Jean Baptiste Poquelin) The flower called heliotrope turns without ceasing to that star of the day, so also my heart henceforth will turn itself always towards the resplendent stars of you adorable eyes, as towards its only pole. [Fr., La fleur nommee heliotrope tourne sans cesse vers cet astre du jour, aussi mon coeur dorenavant tournera-t-il toujours vers les astres resplendissants de vos yeux adorables, ainsi que son pole unique.] - Moliere (pseudonym of Jean Baptiste Poquelin), Le Malade Imaginaire (act II, sc. 6) Love is often a fruit of marriage.

There is beyond all that I am able to say, I know not what inexplicable and fated power that brought on this union. - Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, Essays (bk. I, ch.

A lute, whose leading chord is gone, A wounded bird, that hath but one Imperfect wing to soar upon, Are like what I am, without thee. - Thomas Moore, Loves of the Angels--Second Angel's Story "Tell me, what's Love;" said Youth, one day, To drooping Age, who crost his way.-- "It is a sunny hour of play; For which repentance dear doth pay; Repentance!
