my 5 quotes for today:
"if this girl can create the sense of beauty in people whose lives have been sordid and ugly, if she can strip them of their selfishness and lend them tears for sorrows that are not their own, she is worthy of all your adoration worthy of the adoration of the world."

"life is not goverend by will of intention, life is a question of nerves, and fivres, and slowly built up cells in which though hides itself and passion has its dreams. you may fancy yourself safe, and think yourself strong. but a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you ceased to play- i tell you, Dorian, that it is on things like these that our lives depend."

"the same look was on the faces of all the women as the song ended, tears of pride on cheeks, pink or wrinkled, smiles on lips, a deep hot glow in eyes, as they turned to their men, sweetheart to lover, mother to son, wife to husband. they were all beautiful with the blinding beauty that transfigures even the plainest woman when she is utterly protected and utterly loved and is giving back that love a thousandfold."

"they loved their men, they believed in them, they trusted them to the last breaths of their bodies."
