Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man's last romance. A woman who can keep a man's love, and love him in return, has done all the world wants of women, or should want of them. I suppose that when a man has once loved a woman, he will do anything for her, except continue to love her? We have all feet of clay, women as well as men; but when we men love women, we love them knowing their weaknesses, their follies, their imperfections, love them all the more, it may be, for that reason. It is not the perfect, but the imperfect, who have need of love. It is when we are wounded by our own hands, or by the hands of others, that love should come to cure us - else what use is love at all? | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | |
