So it is with love. - Honore de Balzac Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light. - Honore de Balzac You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth. - Honore de Balzac We can only love what we know. - Mrs. Anna Letitia Barbauld The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much. - Amelia E.
