Stranger Quotes
-

And you'd know quite clearly what you are unable to grasp: your face is not you.

The real Love knows her neighbor face to face, and laughs with him and weeps with him, and eats and drinks with him, so that at last, when his black day dawns, she may share with him, not what she can spare, but all that she has.
